Grub uses the BIOS mapping, so the BIOS boot drive will be hd0 for 
Grub. As far as the drive mapping, the CD-ROM will not have show up 
as a SCSI hard drive. It will show up as a SCSI CD-ROM drive. (scd0)

You can use partition labels in /etc/fstab, and in the kernel 
command lines in grub.conf, but Grub itself does not understand them.

LABEL=/boot   /boot   ext3    defaults 1 2
