Windows98 boot problems

[Meino Christian Cramer]

Hi,

 I have got some trouble trying to boot Windows 98 with grub 0.91.
 My system looks like this (output of "sfdisk -l")

  Disk /dev/hda: 1583 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
  Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

 hda1 contains boot/grub which will be mounted on /boot when
 the Linux kernel is booted.
 sda1 contains Win98.

 If I switch the Bios to boot via SCSI and also configure the SCSI
 hostadapter to boot ID 1 LUN 0, Windows starts which its normal 
 problems.

 When I switcht the Bios to boot from IDE-0, grub starts and I have
 no probelm to start Linux...

 BUT...

 I have an entry in my /boot/grub/menu.lst saying

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

 and I tried also
 
 map (hd0) (hd1)
 map (hd1) (hd0)
 rootnoverify (hd1,0)
 chainloader +1
 makeactive
 boot

 .
 When I choose this entry with "boot IDE-0" set active in the BIOS settings,
 Windows startlogo (the flying windows-logo) came up, then Windows switches
 back to a DOS-like screen (which it also do, when booted directly via BIOS)
 a short, very busy sound from the harddisc came up and then the system is
 frozen to death.

 I searched google for a different method to boot a system with configurations
 like mine but I found only the above settings.

 What do I wrong?

 Thanks for any hint in advance.

 Slightly desperate
