Frank and Leo, could you post the output of 'sudo debconf-show grub-pc', plus /var/log/installer/syslog and /var/log/installer/partman? I suspect that at some point something (perhaps the installer) recorded the wrong disk as the installation target, and that got preserved.

BIOS ordering is a red herring.
