I had the same issue as the original poster of this bug with one difference. Instead of my /dev/sda drive being a SATA drive, it is a USB drive.

I installed Dapper to the USB drive using the Intel x86 alternate install CD. The computer is a Compaq Presario R3000 [even though it is an AMD 64, I used the x86 install CD]. The drive in the computer is running Windows XP. During the installation process, I installed grub to /dev/sda1. When I booted up to USB Drive grub start the boot process, it errored out because it was looking for hd(1,0) instead of hd(0,0).

I would have thought that grub always considered the drive it was booting off of hd(0,0).
