I don't like to have 2 versions found with this bug.
This applies now only for current sid version.
Probable Robert and me the only people who read this, but just in case :)

VMware SCSI Disks are numbered X:Y
X means controller, can be 0-3
I only use one so always 0
Y means disk number, can be 0-15
I only ever use 3 so for me 0-2

If you have a harddisk as 0:0 booted kernel with root=/dev/sda1 
then grub-install /dev/sda
then change in VMware this disk to 0:1 and in BIOS to boot first from 0:1
grub boots fine

If you boot the system as above but then do grub-install /dev/sdb
then reboot and then go to BIOS put the 0:1 disk before the just booted 0:0
so the new grub setup on sdb gets loaded
prefix is fd1,0
