Thanks, for the info. Unfortunately, this section will most
likely not solve my initial problem. At installation time,
the HDD is seen as /dev/sdb, but after 1st reboot it will
be /dev/sda. I must admit, that this is really a tricky 
configuration and that I'm probably the only one who
has that problem. I've recently tried to checked
"Boot from Master Boot Record", which caused the grub 
installation to fail, because (hd0) is not present.

I think, I'll go for the "kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz"
syntax for defining the kernel and initrd, which works
fine for me.

Thanks for all your support, 

Peter.
