That line shouldn't be in a grub file IMHO, how ever I have just emailed
Go to check.
Leave it commented out.  I am planning on throwing 98 on a spare machine
this after noon then 10.10 to see if it picks 98 up.  My experience is
that grub any variety  never has picked up a partition earlier than xp.
However I have chain loaded to a 98 partition in the past.  Just can't
remember how.
