LOL. I wondered if that could be it for a second then dismissed it. Just tried it, it worked. Thanks!

Unfortunately it did not. I just booted back into the original boot

Right: there's no way for the OS to communicate which of the disks is
the boot disk (only which slice, BE, etc.)

I think it would probably be pretty painful to just change the disk definition from xvdc to xvda, since that would effectively change the device assignment from c0t2d0 to c0t0d0 which will cause problems finding root and such since vfstab for one has entries for the former.

The solution is surprisingly dumb: simply list the disk first!

A golden-oldie talks a little bit about this:

6537397 pygrub should look for the disk numbered '0' not the first listed.
I'm updating the bug now...
