How would I go about pointing it at the partition?
What I am currently doing is this: device (hd0) /dev/hdg root (hd0,0) setup (hd0)
setup (hd1,0)
It's hd1 if your device map is correct and hdg is hd1. And then ,0 is for the first partition assuming that's an ext3 boot partition.
What I am doing on my other system (where everything is working), is forcing grub to install to both drives as hd0. I found that when the first drive dies and I remove it from the system, grub will see the remaining drive as hd0, regardless of what it was before. So if I install grub to the second disk as hd1, then it won't boot as a single drive.
And to get this back to a single thread:

I tried 'smartctl -a' and 'hdparm -I', but I don't see anything about Advanced Format. What am I looking for?

I don't get a "Sector Size" line.
