I had what seems the same problem recently. What worked was to

rootnoverify (hd1,0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

The makeactive sets that partition as a bootable one. Some OSs won't
boot from a partition unless it's flagged as being bootable.

It seems odd, to me, that you've got remapping commands *after* the
rootnoverify command.
