This is false btw - I have a system were hda-d are on an addon card
(sii680) and e-h are the built-in controllers (via8235)

(Which is perfect for me btw since the built-in controllers are used by
dvd/cdrom/legacy OS and  ssi680 is the linux raid array)

It did require fun grub stuff like
rootnoverify (hd2,0)
map (hd2) (hd0)
to keep the legacy OS bootable, since it ennumerates the drives the
other way.

Cheers,
