The root line is required for all boots. It tells grub which partition
to load the kernel from.
If XP is in fact on the first partition on the first disk then FC2 would

Mine works like this, and it was installed when I installed FC2 with XP
already loaded on hd0,0
for me hd2 is my scsi drive and I have the bios set to boot from scsi.
