I'm not a grub expert by any means, I still mostly use lilo.

However this web page should help you somewhat 
   http://www.linux.com/howtos/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO/bparams.shtml

The important kernel parameter you need change is "root".  This defines
the partition that will be mounted (read only) by the kernel as root (/)
before the kernel hands over control to init(8).  You will need to have
different grub boot options for each partition you may want to boot as root.

If you're having problems with the grub syntax then post back to the list,
as there are a number of better grub people on this list.
