That sounds JUST like my problem.

Started in Feisty, GRUB would want to install on the wrong drive, and when I 
tried to set it to the drive that was was the start drive in the GRUB Drive 
Map, I'd get an endless Looping of the word "GRUB" all over my screen when I 
boot up.  Here's how GRUB maps my drive since Feisty.

hd0:  hdg
hd1:  sda
hd2:  sdb

In other distros, and Edgy downward, it read like this:

hd0:  hda
hd1:  hdb
hd2:  hdg

Whereas "hda" translates to "sda", "hdb" translates to "sdb" and "hdg"
translates to "hdg".  The drive I boot up with in Windows, and I had to
use Grub4DOS to boot up Feisty, sda.  The device that GRUB wanted to
install in a Fresh Feisty+ install is, hdg.

Grub installs to wrong drive's MBR in default install. No way to change in 
standard installer.
