You can add an entry for Windows something like:
title Windows
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
This is for Windows being on the first partition on the first BIOS
drive. Change hd0,0 to hd0,1 if it is on the second partition.

Ah - this answers a lot of questions. We have a problem here if the
drive on the add-on card is not accessible by the BIOS. You can test
it by adding an entry to your F8 grub.conf something like this. If
it works, we get fancy later.
title Fedora 9
map (hd0) (hd2)
map (hd2) (hd0)
chainloader (hd0)
If grub complains about the map commands, we have a bit of work
ahead of us. If it all works, you should get the Fedora 9 Grub
screen. Note - then map commands only affect that menu selection, so
it will not affect booting the other entries.
