Now if you want to be able to choose both without going into the BIOS, you're going to have to setup GRUB to map (/boot/grub/device.map): (hd0) /dev/hda (hd0) /dev/sda
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.
You don't have to mess with grub's device map. You can do it all from the windows section in the config
title Windows map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1
At least that's how I've got it set up in the office. If there's some arcane reason for this to be a bad thing, I'm all ears.
That approach works for me also. [Although I still consider using dual- boot with Windoze to be evil. :-) VMware is a mitigation. ]
