Switch from LILO to GRUB

I got Arch installed on my macbook now and I used LILO. Now I want to use GRUB, and I am having trouble. I installed the grub package and ran grub-install /dev/sda3 (my / partition), but it said it couldnt find the disk. So then I went to remove LILO and it said it couldnt find the package, but when I boot i clearly have a working LILO. Any ideas?

Try running "grub-install /dev/sda3 --recheck" or use sda instead of sda3; you might also try runnnig "grub" and using setup hd(x,x).

You also may try install-grub instead of grub-install.
And may be you have to install on MBR (/dev/sda)
