F10 /.boot is installed in /dev/sda1.

Snipped from that shell:
grub> device (hd0,0) /dev/sdb
device (hd0,0) /dev/sdb
grub> root (hd0,1)
root (hd0,1)
 Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x82
grub> setup (hd0,1)
setup (hd0,1)

Error 17��: Cannot mount selected partition

But I can mount it just fine.

I think that (hdx,x) crap is whats confusing grub.  No two installs are using 
the same (hd0,0) to drive correlations.  And no one seems to have written 
the definitive tome on how this works yet either.  IMO, grubs man pages 
contain about a -10ee34 torr vacuum.  That is slightly better than 
interstellar space 2 light years out.

And until we have a method to absolutely, carved in Forentine Marble, method 
of correlating the installed drives to the (hdx,x) crap that the bios and grub 
seem married to, this confusion will likely remain.  I assume (there _that_ 
word again) that the bios _should_ be treating disks in the order of the 
sata jacks they are plugged into, and my F10 install does.

All sata drives except for a worn out floppy, but the linux floppy driver has 
been broken for the use I would use it for for about 2 years now.  It 
cannot read or write a 256 byte sector format.

Why that is not in sata port number order I have NDI.

Thanks Will.
