The original error (failed to load OS), i got with GRUB 2, and GRUB 1
under special circumstances.
My haiku partition is (hd0,4) on grub 1 and (hd1,4) on grub 2.
These caused it to fail to boot:
grub2:
set root=(hd1,4)
chainloader +1
boot
chainloader (hd1,4)+1
boot
grub1:
chainloader (hd0,4)+1
boot
THIS is the only solution that worked, and only with GRUB 1. I filed a
ticket about it.
root (hd0,4)
chainloader +1
boot
---
For some reason, having root read the drive and then chainloading worked.
I had turned on the stage1 debug messages, and it only said 'read error' before.
