It is created either manually or by YaST during installation and used by grub when booting. Just edit that file and then try to boot but have a rescue system at hand to undo your changes.
On one machine, I have:
(hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3500418AS_5VM2RSY4 (hd2) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3500418AS_5VM2RW2E (hd1) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3500418AS_9VM7ZCQQ
On another install in the same machine, I got sda, sdc, sdb (from memory). On another disk of that machine, I have:
(hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb (hd2) /dev/sdc
All done by oS 11.2
Go figure. I tried to change the order to hd0, hd1, hd2, in the order of the connectors of the motherboard... and then it would not boot. Now I leave things as they are, changes are too unpredictable.
You may need to reinstall grub (at least) if you change the mapping of the disk that grub's stuff resides on. Grub needs to know what actual drive his stuff resides on.
No, I left hd0 intact, I tried to reorder hd2 and hd1, which are "inverted". Or so it seems. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
