That could be the drive order confusion I mentioned.

When you tell the PROM to boot from drive 1, for example, the PROM
will go to drive 1's MBR and try to boot from there, but one grub is
loaded and looking around for stage 2, it will see the drives in their
actual physical order, not the PROM's boot order.  You usually have to
intervene when it displays what OS grub thinks it's going to boot and
edit the boot hd to the right disk.

Or are you not getting that far?
