Yeah, Grub likes to see directly connected disks first, IIRC.  And for
some reason, the GNU folks have thought it better to use their (hd0,0)
notation instead of a traditional *nix notation.  Not that I disagree
with that; it helps to distinguish boot loader from OS.  It does,
however confuse some people.

I now see what the grub problem was too - after Debian is up, it mounts
a USB drive that I happened to have plugged in as sda. So that makes the
first array sdb, etc.

But to grub, early in the boot process, the first array is sda.

Still having trouble getting it to mount the swap, and smb filesystems
on the network, but I can get though that. Also need to install the smp
kernel. But it looks like Debian is here to stay.
