Hi, I don't know why chainloading from the Vista bootloader doesn't
work.  It sounds like they might be passing invalid information in
DS:SI, which Grub doesn't rely on as far as I know.  I might be able to
look into this at some point, but I have a very long backlog right now
so I don't quite know when.
