Interesting, as the grub info file doesn't give any hint that you'd put
a drive name into the chainloader command.  Just that you can use "+1"
and "--force" parameters with it.

NB:  Not that it makes any difference, but I did mean to type (hd0,0),
not (hd0,)...

Yes, I wasn't paying attention to where you wrote at the grub "prompt".
