The (hd1,0) structure is right, sorry for syntax error, was working from memory.
Looking at your list entry, it should work. The two drives are the only ones in the machine right? And you said if you boot it with (hd1,0) it gives you same os as configured for (hd0,0) ?? Hmmmm, if this is all acurate you should take Camaleón's advice and post the entire menu.lst to pastebin or similar...

Thanks for your attention! the partition of scsi disk is nothing unusual Win98 is installed at sda1 I notice that you say "hd[1,#]" but I always use the form (hd1,#) menu entries for Win98 is nothing unusual during installation of etch or lenny they create entries for Windows I just make some change: title Microsoft Windows 98 root (hd1,0) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 According to grub.html at gnu.org the ls command can list device but both lenny and etch use old grub the ls command seems unavailabel.
