I really loathe its manner of starting counting from zero. Sure, it makes sense for 0 to refer to a whole partition, and 1 for the first partition. But 0 for the first drive is nonsensical.
Grub starts it's numbering from 0 . Well since computers do start counting from 0 due to their binary logic , i guess that is to be expected . Remember for example that BIOS starts it's counting for hard disks at 0x80 ( 80 hexadecimal ) .
