indeed root should be rootnoverify

if grub is chainloading it doesn't need to be able to read the
filesystem, and does not need to verify it.

root (hd0,0) will fail because grub does not understand ntfs
rootnoverify (hd0,0)   will not care

By the way Lindsay, we didn't really need the commented bits, although I have 
to admit I didn't specify that :-)
