Yep, something like this should work.
But I think you want
rootnoverify (hd1,2)
chainloader +1
That works for me with a virtualbox guest, which
has two disks (primary and secondary master),
with three linux fdisk partitions (/boot, swap and linux
raid) on the primary master and two linux fdisk partitions
(swap and linux raid) on the secondary master,
and opensolaris dev build 134 on the secondary master.

I get the same grub hang after printing "GRUB" with my
virtualbox experiment when I tell the BIOS to boot from
BIOS secondary master drive (BIOS drive "D:", or 0x81).
Most likely this is the problem with the MBR code that is
installed by (Open)Solaris; Solaris' MBR code does not
support booting from a BIOS drive different from "C:" (0x80).

When I disconnect the primary master drive, the
secondary master drive becomes "C:", and OpenSolaris
is able to boot from the secondary master.
