You need to put a clean stage1 file somewhere and install from that. Do
something like

install=(hd0,2)/boot/stage1 d (hd0) ...

make sure the file that you use is from the bin directory, not from your
floppy boot sector as GRUB removes some code from the boot sector when it
installs a stage1 to it.

Nope, 1.6.1 is multboot-only as far as I'm aware (Andy?).
