Tab completion helps in this case:

grub> setup (        <--press tab here

This should list suitable devices.  If need be try them in turn.  The one with 
the OS in it should boot.  Also, if you are unsure where Grub's root is 
(typically your /boot partition) then before running the setup command you 
can run:

grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
