[ale] Grub confusion

Howdy folks,

I just finished reading:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/ref-guide/ch-grub.html

and am trying to get Windows 2k and Redhat 8.0 to play nicely. From
my interpretations of the documentation, I should be able to add
my Win2k disk (hdb), and adjust grub.conf. The docs show how to
get Win2k to boot from hda:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/ref-guide/s1-grub-configfile.html

So I thought by adding the following to grub.conf:

title Windows 2000
      rootnoverify (hd1,0)
      chainloader +1

my Win2k disk drive would boot. Well, I was wrong :) It hangs when I
tell the Grub GUI to bootup Win2k. Anyone have a working config, or
know of any caveats with booting Win2k from a disk other than hda? Google
and Deja turned up a bunch of stuff, but most of the posts/docs had the
same configuration as Redhat's website.

Thanks,
Ryan
