When the installer says "it should be safe to install the GRUB boot
loader to the master boot record of your first hard drive." and asks
"Install the GRUB boot loader to the master boot record?" it's referring
to the first hard drive found by the bios, which is the one that
generally boots. If you don't want to install to that drive, you answer
"No" to this question, and go on to specify the drive you do want.

I don't understand how this could happen, since the code that creates
/media/cdrom0 is right after the code that creates the /media/cdrom
link.
