Grub should be installed to the MBR of /dev/sda. I do what you want to with a separate /boot partition. If you shrank the fat32 partition down a 100M and added /boot there you would have to fix the reference in the windows boot.ini to allow for another partition. You should be able to put one at the beginning of /dev/sdb. I think it makes things a lot easier to keep /boot out of LVM. The following grub.conf does what you want in my case YMMV. With Captive and Ext2IFS windows and FC6 can see each others files and move things back and forth as needed.
