This is what I have for mine:
### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST

# This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the
Debian ones
title		Other operating systems:
root

# Non-linux OS on /dev/sdb1
title              Windows XP
root               (hd1,0)
savedefault
makeactive
map                (hd0) (hd1)
map                (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader        +1

and in my kernel section:
title		Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-12-generic
root		(hd0,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-12-generic root=UUID=<snipped> ro quiet
splash vga=773
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-12-generic
