My grub.conf just uses the usual (relative) addressing scheme:

	default 0
	timeout 10
	splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

	title gentoo-2.6.36r8
	root (hd0,0)
	kernel /boot/gentoo-2.6.36r8 root=/dev/sda3

	title gentoo-2.6.36r6
	root (hd0,0)
	kernel /boot/gentoo-2.6.36r6 root=/dev/sda3

This works on the old disk, and, as noted, the new disk does seem to
get as far as recognizing the keyboard, which is after finding disks
but right before creating /sys, then running udev, then the various
initscripts (initializing swap, procfs, framebuffer, and so on)...
