I think the problem is located in grub-installer. When, in expert mode, grub ist told to install 
to /dev/hdb ist executes grub-install hd1. But it is a good guess, that /dev/hdb ist hd0 at boot 
time (otherwise the MBR will not be accessed at boot time). So grub-installer should guess or at 
least ask the user, if /dev/hdb is the first boot HD in the system. and modify 
/boot/grub/device.map.
