Comments/Problems:
For some reason, Grub and Linux had different opinions about drive numbering, so I had to install Grub manually to (hd1) after setting root to (hd1,1), and specifying (hd1,1) as root in menu.lst too. 
Alternatively, I could copy /dev/sda2 over to /dev/sdb2 to boot
successfully.

Everything else was OK.

Thanks for the great job!

This is a well known issue related to persistent device naming.  It will
not be tackled for Lenny, but support for UUID in Grub makes a good step
forward.  I am thus closing this bug report.

Good luck with your new Debian system!
