1. Maybe you have to modify your /etc/boot/device.map as follow:

(hd0)   /dev/hda
(hd1)   /dev/sda
(hd2)   /dev/sdb 


2. Furthermore you have to modify your /etc/boot/menu.lst 



title SuSE-9.0
    kernel (hd2,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb1(x) 
    initrd (hd2,0)/initrd

titel Windown eXPensive
    root (hd1,0)
    chainloader +1
    makeactive
 

3. Then save it and make a

4. grub-install (hd0)
