Well, let's see.  I don't think that grub updates any config info on the 
MBR.  And if it isn't using BIOS for drive access it might ignore the 
mapping you've done.  So even though it's the slave grub running it may 
use the config from the master drive (and it's the config you care about).

Perhaps the configfile command helps.  So you don't need to chain load, 
you just switch config files and pick from that.  But the second config 
file will probably have to understand where your slave drive is.
