The internal disks are SATA, and I have some 'scsi' devices connected,
over fibre channel.
I don't think hda/sda device naming is the problem though, if that's
what you mean. I am pretty sure I installed grub to the right device.

I don't get the grub menu displayed.

No. There are 6 internal disks, and three FC-connected external disks.
I am using what the BIOS thinks is the second disk.

I think I've tried the equivalent of this, booting the squeeze installer
in rescue mode and mounting the root partition, so I could try running
grub-install. The kernel definitely sees the disks and mounts the one I
wanted ok.
Thanks,
