In my theory, no, it shouldn't work. My /boot/grub/menu.lst has absolute path names. Specifying /vmlinuz looks to be a relative path and AFAIK grub don't do relative paths.
grub follows the directory layout on the partition. grub's paths are relative to the partition you specify
Change these relative paths to absolutes. On my system I've quit using a separate /boot partition and leave it as a directory off /. My grub then has /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/initrd after the drive/partition designations. Change yours as follows and see what happens. The root=/dev/hd?? is OK.
title linux kernel (hd1,4)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb7 hdc=ide-scsi vga=791
This will work if hd1,4 (hdb5) has a /boot and fail otherwise
