"hd0" is grubs notation of hard drives. It doesn't use the kernel
systems and draws no distinction between IDE, SATA or any other type.
They are all called "hd" which stands for hard drive.

When the Linux kernel runs the disk driver in use calls drives "hd?" or
"sd?" depending on the driver. You need to disable the ancient IDE
subsystem as systemd can't use it and use instead the new combined
all-in-one system. It calls drives /dev/sd?
