Grub has no knowledge of linux device names (hda). Thats why the
device map is there to help. hd0 will be whatever the bios hands to
grub first - could be the primary master IDE, or the first sata drive.

Perhaps. But it would be easier to `mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt; ls
/mnt/boot/vmlinuz*' and know for sure - the command might be a bit
different depending on how your partitions are setup.
