Where root(hd0,0) defines the partition that the grub files can be
found on. In grub terms (hd0,0) corresponds to hda1 in linux terms. (if
only an ide system). I am uncertain what order grub considers scsi and
ide disks. ie, in a mixed ide/scsi system, I don't know if (hd0) would
be the first scsi disk or the first ide disk.
Just remember that grubs disk/partition addressing is 0 based, where as
the linux partition addressing is 1 based.
