Try typing
Code:
find /boot/grub/menu.lst
is it found ... if it is found (lets say it returns (hd0,1) then try
Code:
root (hd0,1)
configfile=/boot/grub/menu.lst
This should bring up the grub menu for you. If the file is not found then try find /boot/grub/grub.conf instead.
I have not done a yoper install so I'm not sure what potential there is to install grub without a menu file.

I don't think you will find much difference between them to be honest. You will probably find Arch an easier and quicker install.

Boot up Yoper, open Terminal/Konsole and execute this
Code:
grub
root (hd0,1)
setup (hd0)
quit
Reboot machine. You must have root privileges to execute above code.
