Summary:  grub doesnt work with primary slave as intended

Original Submission:  I have 2 harddisk (pri master & slave). Whenever 
installing Linux to slave drive grub fails. Recently i tried fedora 3 and it 
got stuck at starting just displaying G R U B. I booted into rescue mode and 
when doing a "root (hd..)" tab doesnt list any drive. Since fedora 3 uses udev 
the /dev dierctory is empty and grub cant find the disk drives.

Also when installing grub from a Live CD the slave drive is given as (hd1). 
However after installing grub and booting into it - it always fails because now 
the slave drive is (hd0) after reboot. This happens everytime. So when 
instaling from a livecd/rescue cd the slave drive is hd1 and   
after installing the slave drive id changes to hd0 after reboot.
