Boot OS X from MBR of Another Hard Disk

Hi,

I've installed Kalyway 10.5.2 a few days back and everything worked perfectly except for one. I use GRUB in my primary master drive and it is unable to load OSX. Right now I have this:

 

> Hard Disk-1

MBR - GRUB (Successfully loads all OS except Leo)

Partition1 (Primary) - Vista

 

> Hard Disk-2

MBR - Darwin (Successfully loads Leo when I boot from this drive)

Partition1 (Primary) - Fedora 8

Partition3 (Primary) - XP

Partition4 (Logical) - Leo

 

I have following configuration in grub.conf

 

default=1
timeout=3
splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2
rootnoverify (hd1,4)
makeactive
chainloader +1
title Windows Vista Ultimate SP-1
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
title Fedora Core 8 (2.6.23.1-42.fc8)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img
title Windows XP Professional SP-3
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
root (hd1,2)
chainloader +1

 

The easiest solution for me right now is to edit the grub config so that it refers to the MBR of the Hard Disk-2. Is it possible to do so? If not what would be the values in the grub config to boot Leo directly from GRUB?

 

Thanks
