That should probably work. What if you use fdisk to make the darwin partition active, and don't use "makeactive" to GRUB? That is pretty much what I use on my system. What is your "device.map" file for GRUB look like?
If I take grub out of the picture and use just boot the secondary
drive with the power disconnected from the first, it won't mount
root. The last thing I see is:
IOATAController device blocking bus
AppleServerworksATA: CSB5 UDMA-1000 (CMD 0x1f0 CTR 0x3f4 IRQ 14 8M 0xffa0)
Still waiting for root device

I've tried passing rd=disk0s3, as well as disabling ACPI, using the -F
and -f flags, etc.
What about rd=disk1s3? Some of the Darwin ATA drivers attempt to do persistent device numbering based on position on the bus.
