I have Grub in my boot partition now, If is do a Grub-install /dev/hda
and it writes to the MBR will that conflict with the one in the /boot
partition??

IIRC, "grub-install /dev/hda" should install grub into your MBR. I would
verify with the man pages first. Make sure your GRUB config is setup
correctly to recognize the respective partitions/drives your OS' are
installed on.
