Forgot to make grub.cfg now what?

Ok so went through the whole install and just forgot to make a grub.cfg file at the end. how can i do this now? I am having som much problems with mdadm and raid right now its unbelievable. i have a raid for my boot and root partitions. I know if i could reassemble the raids in the live cd i can just re chroot back in and generate a grub.cfg. if i run mdadm --assemble it says "/md1 is not in the config file" if i run mdadm --creatwe it says the devices are busy?

Pleas HELP!!!

Have you tried using the live cd to chroot in and make grub.cfg?

Why would have need to?  Do as SC suggested and you'll be fine.
