In grub2, sda1 is (hd0,1) or (hd0,msdos1) not (hd0,0) - although the
"search..." line should override the "set root..." line.
("--set" and "--set=root" are the same.)

I'd had grub use "/dev/sda" rather than "hd0" but I haven't understood
why it's happened. It works either way...

Tom -
Thanks.
Here is the changed file.
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry "DOS (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod fat
# set root='(hd0,0)'
set=root
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 351B-1CE1
chainloader +1
}
I probably did not understand what you said, becuase it will not boot into DOS.
