Can GRUB boot GRUB?

Hi all,

I have two HDDs sda and hda.

sda (master SATA):
	WindowsXP (30GB)   Only because I need it for OU work.
	FC4       (200GB)  Because I love it.

hda (master IDE):
	Debian    (20GB)   Because I like trying other Linux's.

I would like to use hda for Debian (or perhaps testing FC5) but I want
GRUB on hda to be independent of GRUB on sda; so that if Debian updated
its version of GRUB's menu.lst I wouldn't need to edit menu.lst on sda.
What I'm looking for is a way for GRUB on sda to boot GRUB on hda in the
same way as GRUB can boot Windows.

I've tried googeling and reading the man pages and although there are
plenty of examples of editing menu.lst to boot other OS's I can't find
what I want, GRUB (sda) boot GRUB (hda).

Is it possible or have I just missed it?
