After updateing to 1.96+20080426-1.

/boot/grub/device.map contains the standard entries again:
(fd0)	/dev/fd0
(hd0)	/dev/sda
(hd1)	/dev/sdb

Symlinks have been removed from /dev/scsi due to the reboot.

# grub-probe -t drive /boot
grub-probe: error: /boot/grub/device.map:2: Duplicated entry found

Huh?!?

I'm not sure if grub counts starting with 0 or 1, but in any case,
/dev/sda and /dev/sbd are different:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 2008-04-27 13:14 /dev/sda -> scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 2008-04-27 13:14 /dev/sdb -> scsi/host1/bus0/target2/lun0/disc

And /dev/fd0 is different again:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2008-04-27 13:14 /dev/fd0 -> floppy/0
