I really didn't have much problem with grub 1, just edit menu.lst . I'm having the devil of a time trying to figure out how to set the default boot and how to chain in grub 2 in squeeze. I found something about using update grub and setting the default boot in a fle in /usr/share/grub, followed by doing an update-grub, but that doesn't change the default boot,
You can change the default in file /etc/default/grub. Edit the GRUB_DEFAULT= line to the entry number you want (starting with 0 for the first entry in the grub menu. Then run update-grub.I don't use chain loading, so am not sure how to do that. I think grub2 should automatically detect other OSen, is os-prober is installed, when update-grub is run. I'm sure someone else here can advise you.
