You didn't put the "-" in the "su" command and the command is not found for the exact same reason your mkbootdisk command was not found. The command is in "/sbin" so you must either do an "su -" before running the command or use the full path "/sbin/grub-install".

No problem. That little "-" tidbit seems to be something that n00bs and many not-so-n00b people don't understand. It probably should be the very first item on a FAQ. I'll add it to my list to explain this and the differences in user and root environments, PATHs, etc.
