Grub configuration for FC2 and Win 98 on different drives???

I'm using a Promise UDMA 133 add-on adapter for
my HDDs.

I have a HDD with Win 98se installed on partition 1
which will boot if connected to the First IDE channel
on this card as Master.

I moved that HDD to the Second IDE channel and
now have another HDD with Fedora Core 2 installed
and connected as Master on the First IDE channel.

Insofar as Linux is concerned, FC2 is on /dev/hde8
and Win98 is on /dev/hdg1

What do I need to add to /boot/grub/grub.conf so as
to be able to alternatively boot Win 98? I've been
monkeying with it but have gotten nowhere. Here are
the stanzas with one of my (non-working) Win 98
attempts. (FC2 boots without any problem.)
---------------------
title Fedora Core (2.6.5-1.358smp)
        root (hd0,7)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358smp ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.5-1.358smp.img
title Fedora Core-up (2.6.5-1.358)
        root (hd0,7)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img
title Win 98se
        map (hd0) (hd2)
        map (hd2) (hd0)
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader (hd2)+1
--------------------

Your help will be greatly appreciated.
