I have two hard drives in my computer. I have this F7 on a IDE hard

It all falls apart when I use the Serial Cable hard drive. It becomes
/dev/sda and the IDE becomes /dev/sdb.
I think the BIOS is doing this. Does anyone else have a similar
problem?
I think it's not the BIOS. Linux generally ignores the BIOS for disks.

I'm not sure this is strictly true.
I think grub decides which is hd(0), hd(1), etc, according to the BIOS.

If you change the order of the disks in the BIOS
I think this alters the way grub sees the disks.
"grub" <> "Linux"
Karl was using Linux names, so I think he's not talking of grub.
