[Solved]grub2 didnt install correctly suck at grub shell

I upgraded from grub to grub2 and now Im stuck at the grub shell.

I have tried this from my usb live install :

#root
#mount  /dev/sda5   /mnt  (sd5 is my root partition)
#mount /dev/sda1  /mnt/boot
# mount -t proc none /mnt/proc
# mount -t sysfs none /mnt/sys
# mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
#chroot /mnt

#pacman -S grub2
#grub-mkconfig -0 /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I look like the upgrade didnt upgrade because when i reboot computer it says gnu grub version 0.97 which isnt grub2

You needed to run a grub-install on MBR after pacman -S grub2

Maybe I'm doing the grub-install part wrong cause

is it just grub-install or

grub-install --no-floppy  xxxx ( if its this one where should i point it)

Let me give you the url to check: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub2

(You have to tell grub-install where you want to install grub.)
