Please recall that I'm trying to boot my Windows disk from grub. SuSE boots fine, but a section in grub2/grub.cfg for Windows that does not boot Windows. Windows boots fine if I change the BIOS drive order. OK, so I look on-line and I see that for /grub/menu.lst the code to /add/ to the Windows section of grub is:
map (hd0,0) (hd1,0) map (hd1,0) (hd0,0) rootnoverify (hd1,0) makeactive
For your situation it probably won't cause trouble, but makeactive does not belong on your system. You're mapping disks, not partitions. Installing XP made its C: active, and nothing you've done with Linux should have changed it.

But my question is... might there be a difference for the configuration used for /grub2/grub.cfg ?
Definitely. http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Changes-from-GRUB-Legacy If you alter config with YaST, it should be right. The first HD partition in Grub Legacy (menu.lst) is ",0", but in Grub2 (grub.cfg) it is ",1". -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
