After installing grub to /dev/sdb with root the filesystem on
/dev/sdb, grub attempts to load the root filesystem from /dev/sda.

Apparently, grub thinks whichever hard drive it is loading from is the
first hard drive, even if Linux thinks it is the second.

Workaround: Manually modify grub's menu.lst

There will be a line that says something like "root (hd1,4)". Change
the first number to zero, so that example should be changed to "root
(hd0,4)".

All such bugs have been fixed when grub-installer switched to use
UUIDs instead of device names.
