Both disks are identical. I know that the hd0 => /dev/hde mapping is
sound because booting after having setup grub does give me the error,
and hde/hd0 is the drive I have configured as the boot device. Had it
installed to the wrong drive, I would not have got the grub error; I
would have got a lilo prompt (from the lilo install that fedora had done
previously), or potentially nothing.
