When having multiple IDE and/or SCSI controller on the same machine I
get similar problems.
I had to play with grub to install it to the good MBR and make it load
it's second stage part from the good drive.
It was longtime ago and always get success using "random" commands.
I used "map" command for sure, to swap both drive
something like
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
and/or setup (hd0) or setup (hd1)
and/or root(hd1,0)
Good Luke
