F10 /.boot is installed in /dev/sda1.

Snipped from that shell:

root (hd0,1)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x82

But I can mount it just fine.
I think that (hdx,x) crap is whats confusing grub. No two installs are using
the same (hd0,0) to drive correlations. And no one seems to have written
the definitive tome on how this works yet either. IMO, grubs man pages
contain about a -10ee34 torr vacuum. That is slightly better than
interstellar space 2 light years out.
And until we have a method to absolutely, carved in Forentine Marble, method
of correlating the installed drives to the (hdx,x) crap that the bios and grub
seem married to, this confusion will likely remain. I assume (there _that_
word again) that the bios _should_ be treating disks in the order of the
sata jacks they are plugged into, and my F10 install does.

All sata drives except for a worn out floppy, but the linux floppy driver has
been broken for the use I would use it for for about 2 years now. It
cannot read or write a 256 byte sector format.

Why that is not in sata port number order I have NDI.
Thanks Will.
