Complicated chain loading

Not for the faint of heart; I need a LILO/GRUB expert.
Three drives: sda, sdb, hda (two SATA, one IDE).
sda is the first boot drive.
LILO is on the MBR of sda1 (SuSE). I have it set up to chain load SuSE
on sda1, The Evil OS on hda, or FC-6 on sdb2.
GRUB is in the boot sector of sdb2; I let FC-6 set it up 'cause I don't
know GRUB.
The Evil OS requires re-mapping drive geometry to make it think that hda
is the first drive. This is easy in LILO. Of course, SuSE in sda1 also
boots.
But, I get a GRUB Geometry Error when trying to boot sdb2. Do I need to
do the same geometry mapping for GRUB as I need to for The Evil OS?
Thanks!
