Assuming you mean Ubuntu 9.10, the following procedure worked for me:

1. Add the following four rows to your /etc/grub.d/40_custom,
adjusting the "hd0,1" part to match your disk and partition numbers
where your Haiku installation is located, in my case on the first disk
(0) and the first partition (1)):

menuentry "Haiku" {
    set root=(hd0,1)
    chainloader +1
}

2. Run 'sudo update-grub' in a terminal.

3. Unless you specified multi-boot during installation, the grub start
menu is hidden by default. You can either press both Shift keys during
boot to display it, or comment out row number five in
/etc/default/grub (GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0) and running 'sudo
update-grub' again.
