Just to clarify my understanding of grub's syntax for hard disk partitions /dev/sda = hd0
Normally yes, but grub may have its own idea about what bios will consider to be hd0. You can force it with: device (hd0) /dev/sda
/dev/sda1 = hd0,0 /dev/sda2 = hd0,1
Yes, you probably really need root (hd0,0) instead the (hd0,1) I said earlier.
