Again two hard drives IDE and SATA. Now SATA is /dev/sdf (hd5,2) and

because grub counts physical drives and you don't have 5 physical drives

get it close... try [hd1,2] or [hd0,2]
Thank you Craig! It was (hd1,2) that worked and it is one drive
above this one as you expected.
I do not think I saw this grub fact before. I was just ignorant ;-)
