Grubby problem

Hi ubunters,
I started with a machine with one disk which had win98 on one partition
and win2000 on another. I inserted a new primary disk to install ubuntu
on, and then setup raid1 mirroring between the two disks.
I still have the old win98 and win2000 partitions on sdb, and I'd like
to be able to boot them.
I've been fooling around with grub to try to find the right
incantations, but so far, no joy.

As you can see, sdb1 seems to have the win98, and sdb5 seems to have the
NT partition.
I'm certainly a grub noob as you can tell.
Thank you for any help you can offer.
