I'm confused. Wouldn't you want "root (hd0,0)"
because if the first drive fails, the second drive will become sda
after boot.
You already have the grub configured on sda (original primary boot
device) or you can't boot.
The ideea is to configure grub on sdb - or the secondary hdd - after
you create the raid matrix and before anything bad happens so if the
Fail event happens on the sda (original primary boot device) you will
boot for sure with the sdb (original secondary boot device) moved in
place of sda.

I think I am just remembering the hoops I had to jump through with IDe drives.
Having a boot line with a fallback line on the different drive just in case.
In any case it is a good idea to be prepared to boot the install CD in
rescue mode and reinstall grub if it doesn't work quite the way you
expect when one of the drives fails.
