Just struck me, normally windows, prior to Windows XP, always insist on 
being set to the first primary partition, but this is of course for 
normal windows installation and I am not sure how this plays out in your 
(unusual) case. So you may want to try this

menuentry "MS-DOS" {
insmod fat
set root=(hd0,1)
drivemap -s (hd0) (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
}

that is, if your are not sure about the contents of (hd0,1)

Note: you can always edit (press 'e') the grub menu to try out without 
modifying your script.
