I am late to this thread, so it may already have been mentioned, but
you may want to look at the map option in Grub.
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader +1

I managed to create a grub.conf that works [a minor miracle].
However I am interested in this.
I don't see the "map" option in man grub?
Info grub is hard to deal with, copied it to info.txt which
produces 73 pages in an openoffice document using a font large
enough that I can see ...
How do I use the "map" option?
