I hit it 4 times on 4 machines last week, seems to be very simple.
You need to switch to the console with a shell on it and kill grub,
it is in a cpu loop.

Then do a chroot to the root of the install tree (/mnt/install I think)
and run grub there.

Inside grub to

root (hd0,x)
setup (hd0)

that assumes hd0 is the disk containing the /boot directory and x
is the partition number on that disk.

Then return to the installer and complete the installation.
