Grub and XP

Sir or Madam,

I don't really have a "bug" to report, but a question that I didn't see addressed in your text or FAQs.

I'm having trouble getting a dual boot environment to work on my home computer. I started with attempting a dual partition on one disk, but learned that XP isn't so conducive to such things, and I heard rumors that a binary patch was released by MS to fix the problem, but never really wanted to follow up. Instead, I took what I thought was the easy way out and purchased another disk.

I'm trying to run Red Hat and XP, one on each disk. XP, for imaginable reasons, insists on being on my first disk, 0x80. With lilo I can modify my /etc/lilo.conf file to look like this:

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

This tricks Windows into thinking it's on the first disk. I can't seem to find out how to do this with GRUB. Any advice?
