What does "geometry (hd0)" say?  Does it list all three partitions
with correct size?  If it does it is most probably an error in the
grub's fat filesystem.  Can you send the output from the geometry
command?

I would also like to see the boot sector of the fat partition just in
case it is a bug in grub's fat.  You can extract it in linux with 

dd if=/dev/hda1 of=fatbpb.dat bs=64 count=1

BTW, is this from linux with grub shell, or did you boot from a grub
floppy?  It would help to know this to locate the bug.
