For grub, the (hd0) and (hd1) devices are the ordered in the same order that
the BIOS puts them in, so if you are going to switch them around in the BIOS,
you should set the entries in the grub.conf to (hd0,0) instead of (hd1,0).
In otherwords, (hd0) is always "the disk currently being booted from".
You can test this by editing the lines when grub comes up, and change kernel
to be:
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb1

AHA! That sure sounds like my problem. I'll test this tonight.
So the mapping is NOT hard-coded:
hd0 = primary master
hd1 = primary slave
hd2 = secondary master
hd3 = secondary slave
but rather is the boot order I select?
Thank you so much for the rapid reply,
Michael
