Then I rebooted, and told GRUB to chainload this partition. But I get
the following error:

Have you tried loading /boot/loader directly from GRUB? It should save
you
all the hassle.
I tried that just now. At the GRUB prompt, I gave:
root=(hd2,3,a)
chainloader /boot/loader
boot
But GRUB gave me an error abt the file format being unsupported.

But your suggestion gave me an idea though. That I can try loading the
kernel from GRUB. And so I then tried:
root=(hd2,3,a)
kernel /kernel
boot
use kernel /boot/loader and you're happy
