The drive numbering is determined by the bios, and doesn't matter. What matters is that there is no good way to choose a default location to install grub to. It isn't right for you, but changing it to be right for you would make it wrong for someone else, hence, wontfix. If you have multiple drives in your system then you most likely will have to change the grub install location. That is the down side of the broken PC bios architecture.
