The problem is that Grub doesn't identify SATA drives in the same order as the BIOS. It is really easy to see if you have 3 SATA drives and each have different sizes.
I have argued and argued and argued and argued, but I keep hitting a stone wall. FreeDOS and Windows both manage to identify hardware in the same order as the BIOS, they even honor BIOS overrides which change drive ordering, but Grub....not so much.
