The bootloader-utils assume the sdb will be hd0 at boot time, which
is the case on my system.

Have you tried making the file read only? No idea if that will work.

</I>
I use f8 on my system, during boot, to get to a boot menu, then
select the second drive (my bios remembers the last selection,
and keeps it, on reboots).
When I select the second drive, as far as grub is concerned, it is
hd0, while as far as the kernel is concerned, it's sdb.
