Last time I tried installing grub into a partition (which is a while ago), it kept complaining a lot and refusing to install. Grub is weird that way. My rationale is this: 1.) You want to chainload grub: There is no need to chainload grub. If you want to use grub from a different system, you can just add Arch to that grub instance manually. 2.) You don't want to chainload grub: Put it in the MBR then. More importantly: Don't use grub, use syslinux (which will always install in the /boot partition).
