Something is a bit strange here. Can't have but one (hd0). Should
presumably be:
(hd1) /dev/sda
I've run into trouble in the past if grub's device.map differed from the
BIOS boot order on IDE/SCSI machines.

That approach works for me also. [Although I still consider using dual-
boot with Windoze to be evil. :-) VMware is a mitigation. ]
