Well now I'm completely confused ! Yesterday I could only get this 
guest to boot if I only had one boot option in menu.lst. Tried it 
again this morning, expecting to reply "well it's definitely not 
working for me" and ... it's only gone and worked properly :-/
As far as I can remember, I haven't changed anything since I last 
tried and found it didn't work.
Very odd, but it's working now - I can even reboot the host and have 
the guest come up properly :-) Can start migrating my production 
stuff now.
NB - when installing grub-legacy, the version (1.98+20100804-14) in 
Debian Stable (Squeeze) has the bug that prevents it installing in 
the guest. Installing grub-common from Testing gets a newer version 
(1.99~rc1-13) where this is fixed.
