Generally yes, PC bios will map hd0 to the primary master IDE drive, and
some newer bioses will allow you to boot from other drives. This is
done by changing the mapping so the other drive looks like hd0. Since
this mapping is done by the bios, it effects both grub and ntldr alike.

Does the Grub drive number for IDE drives mean this?
HD0 master drive
HD1 slave drive
or is the Drive number influenced by which drive you're booting from so
that if booting from the slave drive
HD0 would be slave
HD1 would be master?
and if booting from the master it would be:
HD0 master drive
HD1 slave drive
(Also when using the NTloader is the specification of the disk number
affected by which drive you are booting from? I know this doesn't really
belong here but it cropped up at the same time when modifying partitions
loaded by grub and NTLoadr.)
