Yes, confirm that set root ought to be to /boot partition and that's
why you've got it working.

You can do this at terminal

sudo grub-mkconfig

Check the output carefully, you need to check at least 2 things..
o  your modifications on 9.04 is correct as your previous post
o  your 8.04 on sdb2 is showing up as well as other OS you may have
    (still talking about the labtop?... I am slightly confused.. but 
really.. never mind)


If all is okay... take your time checking this out...then...

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

to set to your grub.cfg.
