whatever the device name is, gets mapped to (hdn)
in /boot/grub/device.map.

Check that and use the proper (hdn,0) for the device mapped properly.

Mine is as follows:
----------------------------
# this device map was generated by anaconda
(fd0)     /dev/fd0
(hd0)     /dev/hda
(hd1)     /dev/hdb
------------------------

So if I were to boot and my /boot partition was /dev/hdb1 the proper
line would be:
    root (hd1,0)
