GRUB religiously starts numbering at 0, througout the programme.
(hd0,0) is the first partition on the first harddisk;
default 0 means the first entry in the menu.lst file.

See also the grub info file, "Configuration":

     # By default, boot the first entry.
     default 0

   The first entry (here, counting starts with number zero, not one!)
will be the default choice.
