[opensuse-autoinstall] How to change the root disk in grub?

Hi,

I'm using a bootable USB-Stick to boot the computer for
autoinstallation. Everything works fine, but the grub boot-loader
installation just before the first reboot is selecting the wrong
harddisk as root device. I.e. it should be "root (hd0,1)", but actually
it is set to "root (hd1,1)".

Background: At inital boot, the USB-Stick is /dev/sda and the HDD is
/dev/sdb. After kernel and initrd have been loaded from the USB-Stick,
I'm removing the stick and the autoinstall continues. After 1st reboot,
the HDD is /dev/sda and grub fails, because (hd1,1) is not present.

How can I force autoyast to tell grub to use (hd0,0) as root? In SUSE
10.1 this problem did not exist.

System: openSUSE-10.2 (final) on ASUS K8N-DER (Dual Opteron 275)

Thanks,
Peter.
