Well, something regenerated device.map since installation. I don't think your 
system would boot with the device.map you've provided---grub would have ever 
installed properly. I believe, from what you've provided, your device.map 
should contain:

(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd1) /dev/sdb

Did you try the workaround? Namely running `grub-mkdevicemap --no-floppy` again?
