Hi,
I'd like to confirm this issue on my Debian Lenny installation, using
the net-install image.
Drives in the system:
/dev/sda -> SATA drive (sda1: /, sda2: swap, sda3: /home, sda4: /data)
on first SATA controller
/dev/hda -> IDE drive (hdb1: /more_data), master on 1st IDE controller
/dev/hdb -> DVD writer, slave on 1st IDE controller
When I install with this configuration and let grub install itself on
the MBR of the SATA drive, it assumes that the SATA drive is (hd1,0)
instead of (hd0,0).
When I kick out the IDE drive, all works fine.
Best regards,
Tommy
