 Can we see your current configuration -- or at least the lines that
you have the problem with?  One thing to bear in mind though is that
chain.c32 starts numbering harddrives at 0, not 1.  Also, partitions
start at 1 (this is because the MBR is given 0 so that you can just
boot a MBR rather than a particular partition.)  So, to boot the first
partition of the first harddrive, you'd have:  "chain.c32 hd0 1" for
example.
