That's helpful, thanks... but I'd still like to know why it's choosing
the MBR of sdb over the one on sda!

I did a manual install to a dc7700. Here is the relevant section from
anaconda-ks.cfg
bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=hda,hdc
--append="pci=nomsi,nommconf vga=794 rhgb quiet"
# The following is the partition information you requested
# Note that any partitions you deleted are not expressed
# here so unless you clear all partitions first, this is
# not guaranteed to work
#part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=hdc
#part pv.6 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=hdc
#volgroup VolGroup00 --pesize=32768 pv.6
#logvol swap --fstype swap --name=LogVol01 --vgname=VolGroup00
--size=1000 --grow --maxsize=1984
#logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol00 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=1024
--grow
Now, the drive names _might_ be signficant. So might the fact that the
bootloader line lists two drives.
The fact I installed Scientific Linux probably isn't significant, it's a
Tikanga clone. Or fork.
I have Windows on the first drive, and that's where I installed grub. It
worked as expected.
Since then I have added the following to the kernel commandline and the
drives come up as sda and sdb, and sda is the first.
hda=noprobe hdb=noprobe hdc=noprobe
