Thanks for your reply, curaga.
My system now dual boots DSLinux and Windows. I'm not really sure how I got grub to work, but it does. I think you're right about the script, because grub only worked after I had tinkered with the grub-install command. This command always returned a /dev/cloop message that I thought was an error, but I think it was just information.
Now, I have Smart Boot Manager in the MBR for hda, and grub booting from one of the SBM options to a /boot partition on hda1. Windows boots from an SBM option, too, but it won't boot from grub, returning a large hard drive error, even though it does boot from SBM.
I'm using SBM so I can boot to CD, since my BIOS does not.
