BIOS problem?

Using 'fdisk' I find an impossible situation. I have this hard drive
that is /dev/hda and that is fine. In BIOS it is the first HD in the
list. Way down the list is the second HD which is a SATA drive and must
be plugged into the proper SATA header. For some reason 'fdisk' in this
Ubuntu calls this HD /dev/sda!
I have mounted a partition from the SATA HD /dev/sda7 to this system
and copied the whole system to the SATA HD. But grub gets confused. It
can't seem to see the SATA HD. I can't get grub to boot the new Ubuntu
system.
Has anyone else solved this kind of problem? It may be just a BIOS
problem brought on by the fact that SATA is a band aid added to the BIOS.
