  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Is this the system map you're referring to?

If so, I'm not sure I can answer your question -- you're using different
kernels for each system.  I'm not aware of a way to specify per-stanza
boot maps, but then, I haven't really tried.  Have you considered an
alternative boot method for Debian -- say a boot floppy or lilo floppy?
