I wouldn't really care whether it installs boot loader to either hard drive (right now bios tells it to find the IDE drive first) but of course, /boot and the / (root) partition are on the SCSI drive (sda or in grub parlance - hd2). Either way, I haven't been able to find the trick to make it work - I wanted to rely on webmin's grub module to fix things up but it no workee and I am stumped by grub's info & help.
