Even though I don't need your drivemap at all (see one of my replies to
Marco's ATA topic) I was so kind to try this out with my Vista x64
SP1 ;)

I haven't remembered exactly the 2 menuentrys you wrote in your mail so
I used a mixture of both :)

drivemap (hd1) (hd0)
set root=(hd0)
chainloader (hd1,1)+1

This booted fine for me, GRUB loaded from IDE disk and Vista chainloaded
from my SATA RAID 0.

I really hope that you get this commited, then there's one feature less
missing from grub-legacy ;)
