Well, originally it was sda, but then when I added drives it was sdb and I
was still booting off of it. Now it seems to only work when sda.

In all cases when the original drives was in it was on SATA1 with 2-4
being the other on board SATA connectors.

Could I dd the first 512 bytes off the original drive onto one of the new
drives and have any hope that the system would actually boot off the new
drive?

Maybe I should just hit them all.

for i in `seq 0 2`; do grub-install hd${i},0; done
