Without /dev/hdb installed, what do you get when you boot with boot
disk, then start "grub" and execute "find /boot/grub/grub.conf" in
GRUB shell?

As a second test, also without /dev/hdb installed, what do you get
for

  grub-install --recheck /dev/hda ; cat /boot/grub/device.map

?

That, however, suggests that you introduced a hardware problem.
