Nope -- it's installed on hdc because of how I've set my drives up
(see original message), but I figured GRUB would be able to try hda
and move on to hdc, then hdb and finally hdd. Does GRUB demand that it
boot from hda? I guess I can move the ribbon cables around if
necessary, but that seems a little inflexible to me.

Mmmm .. interesting. I'll definitely try that when I get home. Thanks
for the suggestions!
