Confirmed. And I would say it's a serious bug for newbies, as simply the
booloader is default installed in the wrong hard disk, not the first in
the order that bios follows. What's strange (to me) is that:

- grub from bios (on start-up): sees the hard drives in the correct order;
- grub from live cd 8.04.01: sees the hard drives in the WRONG order.

I would say here that, not being in real-mode, grub from live cd is not
using bios calls to detect hard drives but relays on an higher level
linux syscalls/driver interface. Really dunno.

Distributions that work (detect sata drives in the correct order):
- Ubuntu 7.10;
- Gentoo 2008 (2.6.24 kernel).

Next I'll attach dmesg, /proc/interrupts, lspci output from ubuntu
8.04.01 and 7.10.
