Ok well first you need to get a working menu.lst file in grub.
Mine looks like:
title Debian bf2.4
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-bf2.4 root=/dev/hda1 hdc=ide-scsi
title Debian 2.6.0
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0 root=/dev/hda1 hdc=ide-scsi
title Low-level Format
root (hd0,3)
chainload +1
But yours would look like:
title Windows
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
title Redhat
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/name-of-redhat-kernel root=/dev/hda2
title Debian
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/name-of-debian-kernel root=/dev/hdb1
Then assuming grub is installed on redhat you would run grub
in redhat and enter the following commands:
root (hd0,1) This tells grub that /boot/grub/ is on /dev/hda2
setup (hd0) This tells grub to install itself on /dev/hda
