The problem is that Grub doesn't identify SATA drives in the same order as the 
BIOS.  It is really easy to see if you have 3 SATA drives and each have 
different sizes.

I have argued and argued and argued and argued, but I keep hitting a stone 
wall.  FreeDOS and Windows both manage to identify hardware in the same order 
as the BIOS, they even honor BIOS overrides which change drive ordering, but 
Grub....not so much.
