I will mention that this is a weak request for information... you need to
make a habit of putting specific information like actual configuration
files (at least the relevant portions, though judging that can get you in
trouble too) and actual error messages.
The requirements for loading LEAF are the ability to load the kernel and
initrd image, and an MSDOS or ISO9660 filesystem (depending on version) to
load packages from. I haven't used GRUB, but if it is like LILO it
doesn't know how to dig the kernel and initrd images out of those funky
partitions, which is the expertise of syslinux or isolinux.
If you have a more appropriate filesystem for GRUB to pull these images
off of, you might try separating them from the packages on their MSDOS
partition and putting them in that location. Alternatively, you might add
support for ext2 to the initrd image (/boot/lib/modules) and pull
everything from an ext2 partition.
I haven't done either of these things though, so if you _did_, your
too-brief report has wasted time for both of us because your problem is
more specific than this answer is.
