I think that (hdx,x) crap is whats confusing grub. No two installs are using the same (hd0,0) to drive correlations. And no one seems to have written the definitive tome on how this works yet either. IMO, grubs man pages contain about a -10ee34 torr vacuum. That is slightly better than interstellar space 2 light years out. And until we have a method to absolutely, carved in Forentine Marble, method of correlating the installed drives to the (hdx,x) crap that the bios and grub seem married to, this confusion will likely remain. I assume (there _that_ word again) that the bios _should_ be treating disks in the order of the sata jacks they are plugged into, and my F10 install does. >If this doesn't work then I dunno what's going on.

All sata drives except for a worn out floppy, but the linux floppy driver has been broken for the use I would use it for for about 2 years now. It cannot read or write a 256 byte sector format.
