LMV2 boot from another Volume Group?

I have two hard drives I want to boot from, each with its own LVM2
Volume Group. I can boot from the one on the same drive as Grub, but
not from the other one. Apparantly, only Logical Volumes from the boot
drive's Volume Group are detected before / is mounted (something about
"activation", perhaps?). Googling only shows how to detect Volume
Groups and activate Logical Volumes after / is mounted. I can't find
any kernel LVM parameters that would affect this (and I'd need the LVM
stuff built-in to the kernel, not as a module).
Can Linux use a Volume Group that isn't on Grub's boot volume?
Must I add a boot partition on the second disk and chainload to it?
