Today I installed Arch from the 0.7.1-pre1 ISO and ran into troubles
with GRUB. The machine had a CD drive as hda and a harddisk as hdc.
The installer converted hdc into (hd2) and the root partition hdc3 to
(hd2,2). GRUB refused to install saying something like "no such
device". I figured out that GRUB recognized hdc as (hd0). Apparently
for GRUB it doesn't matter where a harddisk is but how many disks are
installed. So (hd0) doesn't mean hda, it means the first detected disk
(even if it's hdd). In my opinion it's a serious bug in the Arch
installer. What do you people think?
