Man do I agree with that one.

Grub is very painfull, to configure with SATA and regular IDE mixed 
together.

With grub add a non IDE or SATA device and grub won't boot...

I finally figured out that I had to rearange the drives in the advanced 
boot setup
during install of FC3, so that the sd drives came before the hd drives, 
now I can
have regular IDE and SATA in the same machine.

Using lilo you just use the actual device name in the config file like 
"/dev/hda1"
or "/dev/sda1", not some stupid pointer like "hd0" to a map entry to a 
device.
