Maverick Alpha 2 Grub "No Partition Found"

[jerrylamos]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Two hard drives installed, sda as reported by install and linux is 82 GB IDE. sdb is 120 GB sata.
Alpha 1 installs O.K.
Alpha 2, Grub can't find the UUID as installed on sda because it only looks at sdb.
Pretty hard for me to get printed evidence of this since Grub doesn't even find the initial screen, however I do see:

fstab is in error since in fact install was on sda8 not sdb8:
"# / was on /dev/sdb8 during installation
UUID=0672c821-3a3b-4b70-aab9-8e967a9a0c60 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sdb2 none swap sw 0 0"

while in fact the install was on partition sda8:
fdisk -l says:

Alpha 2 install from CD can't even boot since Grub can't find the UUID by looking on the wrong drive, so I had to install Alpha 1 CD and update to current.
