Hmmm, this can't be true. The (hdx,y) notation is a Grub thing, but
those kernel parameters go to the kernel who does not understand this
notation. That's why there is the root=/dev/sdb2 argument, instead of
root=(hd1,1). Once the kernel knows where the root partition is, other
file arguments are relative to this.
