As I recall, stage 2 should exist in a filesystem -- not by using "dd".
I always install stage 1 using the GRUB "install" or "setup" commands. I
just run the "grub" command from the regular Linux/Unix shell prompt.

Why do you copy the initial ramdisk image (initrd) to the floppy, but not
the kernel file (vmlinuz)?

"hdba" is not a standard partition name.
Please correct the above errors, or clarify your message, and we can help
