The only thing that Tom can say about the above is that he doesn't
think that it's possible to map a drive to a partition and vice versa
(there's also no "(hd0,0)" partition in grub2 AFAIK).

In the email that I've just sent in this thread, I said "chainload
WinME from grub2 as we've discussed earlier in this thread" but now
that I'm looking at this, I feel more strongly about installing grub2
to sda9 because "chainloader +1" means "look for a bootloader in the
first sector of root". In this case, it has to be (hd0), not (hd0,1),
because I don't think that the WinME bootloader can be elsewhere.
