That would be the logical order, but here hda and hdb have to do with
the cdrom. I get this from dmesg:
dmesg | grep hda
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xd000-0xd007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio
hda: HL-DT-ST GCE-8320B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hda: ATAPI 40X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 8192kB Cache, DMA
Then hdc is the 10G disk for Windows, and hdd the 160G disk for sid.
If I type "root hd(" at the boot prompt, it only gives me 0 and 1 as
options, and a later "kernel" command actually finds vmlinuz in
(hd1,0)/boot. So I guess this is ok.

2, as I said, and a cdrom, recognized as hda.

Well, it was not me anyway :-). grub decided it was time to get
confused last week, after months of normal operation.
