That's because your setup is wrong. If I were you, I would install a
bootloader into the boot sector of each of your /boot partitions and
chainload them from your MBR. [Alternatively, since both are GRUB2, you
can let the primary grub.conf menu load a grub.conf from a secondary OS.]

Again, that's because of the setup that's inconvenient.
