You can't chainload from the `a' partition like this, try this
instead,
root (hd0,2)
it worked for me with OpenBSD 2.7, the only problem I had was that
the OpenBSD boot loader was not able to determine the root device
properly, (I had chainloaded the (hd2,2) partition), so I had to
use the `-a' boot time option, a real PITA, especially since grub
cannot boot the OpenBSD kernel directly anymore (I am not
complaining about this, just that it is the reason for your first
method failing).
