You don't need to chainload -current any more - as long as you have
'options MULTIBOOT' in the kernel; my menu.lst is as follows:

-----

splashimage /grub/os-boot.xpm
foreground  =3D 5381a1
background  =3D e0e0e0
color light-gray/blue black/light-gray
default 2
timeout 10

title W2K
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
boot

title NetBSD-chain
root (hd0,2,a)       # NetBSD on 3rd MBR partition of 1st IDE disk
chainloader +1

title NetBSD
root (hd0,2,a)
kernel /netbsd console=3Dpc root=3Dwd0a

title NetBSD-single
root (hd0,2,a)
kernel /netbsd -s console=3Dpc root=3Dwd0a

title NetBSD-conf
root (hd0,2,a)
kernel /netbsd -c console=3Dpc root=3Dwd0a

title NetBSD-old
root (hd0,2,a)
kernel /onetbsd -c console=3Dpc root=3Dwd0a

----------------

(the splashimage bit doesn't work here - it's from another Solaris 10
setup; there is still an entry with chainloader, but the default is
the direct one; then there is the vesa splash image - and straight
into [kg]dm boot - nice, actually).

This is the latest grub-0.97nb5 from pkgsrc.
