I can't be sure which is part of the problem. Because when I read the
grub documentation, it said that hitting tab at the prompt after
typing the command will produce a list of possible devices/drives.
However, in my case, nothing happens which seemingly implies grub
could not find any device.

I also did try manually doing (hd0,1), (hd1,0) but none of it seemed
to be a "findable" device. For what it's worth, the installer did see
them as sda and sdb. I also disabled the onboard SATA controller
during my attempts in order to eliminate it from showing up as a
possible device, since grub doc says the (hdx,x) number usually
matches the order in which the devices were discovered.
