I believe your /boot/grub/device.map will need a line that says :

(hd1)     /dev/sda

and the grub.conf statement called 'Other' would need to say:

rootnoverify (hd1,6)
chainloader +1

Although I have never not created partitions 3 and 4 on my disk .. so I don't know how their absence is handled.

You also may wish to look at Super Grub Disk <http://www.supergrubdisk.org/>
