[plug] grub not booting

[Bill Kenworthy]

Thats right, if you change the jumpers, its now hda (hd0,0) on ide0. 
There is no mater/slave position on the cable - thats the function of
the jumpers.  Also, what does the bios say - is it auto detecting
sensibly?

Note that in grub ("grub>" prompt) you can type "hd<tab key>" and it
will autolist the possible choices (from what it has detected)
