mount /mnt/hdc (access the original the microcore cd/iso)
cp -p /mnt/hda/boot/* /mnt/sda1/boot/

ab grub (grub2)

menuentry "microcore" linux /boot/bzImage quiet home=hda1 showapps initrd /boot/microcore.gz
tce=hda1 opt=hda1
if for some reason you get to the grub> prompt (i.e. bad menu config above)
boot /hda1/boot/microcore.gz
then try to fix it using
sudo vi /mnt/hda1/boot/grub/grub.cfg
touch /mnt/had1/tce/mydata.tgz
