I now have a grub patch that I think shuffles the devices around appropriately provided that you boot with edd=on, provided that EDD works on your hardware, and provided that the MBR signatures exposed by EDD are distinct - pretty much the same conditions as in SuSE. We can't make this the default, I don't think, but we can make it fairly easy (i.e. accessible from the CD boot menu, documented in release notes, and such) for people to use it if grub's normal autodetection gets it wrong.
