Bin Li is incorrect. The boot order may not determine the allocation of
/dev/sdX for any number of hard drives. In general, IDE drives will
always be assigned first and SATA drives will be assigned second. If
you are booting from a SATA drive and have 2 IDE drives, you will always
get /dev/sda to the first IDE, /dev/sdb to the second IDE, and /dev/sdc
to the SATA drive NO MATTER HOW YOU SET THE BIOS BOOT ORDER.
Therefore, grub should have a hint, option, or other setting to point to
the "default" and not assume /dev/sda. A better way would be to use
UUID like in the fstab file since /dev/sdX assignment may not be
guaranteed.
