Converting from lilo to grub

GRUB is either totally unusable on my system, or I can't figure out how 
to configure it so it would work while Lilo works like a charm.

I have two hardrives on my system with Win98 on my 3 gig master c: drive 
and Windows for Workgroups 3.11/Dos6.22 and Redhat 8.0 installed on my 
13 gig slave drive (primary fat 16 partition)

This is my lilo config:

prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
linear

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14
        label=linux
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
        read-only
        append="hdc=ide-scsi root=LABEL=/"

other=/dev/hda1
        optional
        label=DOS


other=/dev/hdb1
        label=win31
        table=/dev/hdb
        map-drive=0x80 to=0x81
        map-drive=0x81 to=0x80
                                

And this is what my grub config would look like before I gave up on 
with 7.2 it because it either wouldn't boot the Windows WFG 3.11 partition 
or gave me a drive error message when it did. After Grub trashed the partition 
on my c: drive I dumped it and went back to lilo: 

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You do not have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
#          root (hd1,1)
#          kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdb2
#          initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd1,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title Red Hat Linux (2.4.7-10)
        root (hd1,1)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 ro root=/dev/hdb2 hdc=ide-scsi
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.7-10.img

title Windows 98/DOS 7.0
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1

title Windows WFG 3.11/DOS 6.22
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
                                
title DOS 6.22 Boot Disk
        map (hd0) (hd1)
        map (hd1) (hd0)
        chainloader (fd0)+1
                                                        
                                                        
 
Maybe someone can figure out why I can't get Grub to boot my 
WFG 3.11/DOS 6.22 partition from my second harddrive.   
I'm stumped.

Thanks,
Chris
