Grub not installing?

[Peter]

Hi.  We had a computer that had lilo on it.  We replaced that with grub. 
 When we restart the server, after the POST/BIOS pages, we get a blank 
screen, no grub menu, no error message.

We ended up having to boot off a CD rom.

Any ideas what we could try to do to fix this?

Regards, Peter
