In my experience (grub legacy, linux boot with /dev/hd* device names, years=
=20
ago), I had to play with device map to be able to reorder boot device prior=
ity=20
(or plug HDDs in a different PATA layout, I don't remember precisely).
I could edit the map to fit the intended layout change, grub (without
=2D-recheck) just followed, and machine could boot just fine.

Nowadays I don't have to care about this, thanks to UUIDs everywhere instea=
d=20
of dev paths.
