So this ends up working for me:

map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,1)
chainloader +1

Clearly, there's something weird about how grub is mapping the drives 
here. Is there something I can do with the device.map file to fix this? 
As I said before, I'm having to use "wrong" hdX specifications all over 
the place.
