Need help resolving GRUB GRUB GRUB...

I'm trying to install Arch on an old box I have and am running into this issue. Here's some information using my Arch Live CD (might have some errors typing this)

fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 20.5 GB, 20547841536 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 39813 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

   Device Boot  Start     End    Blocks   Id System
/dev/sda1   *       1      93     46840+  83 Linux
/dev/sda2          94    2077    999936   82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3        2078   39813  19018944   83 Linux

/ is sda3, /boot is sda1.

/mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst

title  Arch Linux
root   (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro
initrc /kernel26.img

title  Arch Linux Fallback
root   (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro
initrc /kernel26-fallback.img

/mnt/etc/fstab

none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0

/dev/sda2              swap           swap     defaults            0      0
/dev/sda3              /             jfs       defaults,noatime    0      1
/dev/sda1              /boot         ext3      defaults            0      1

Re-running grub with

root (hd0,0)
setup(hd0)

didn't seem to fix anything. I've also tried "User Type HDD" BIOS settings following http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error … #doc_chap7
