Network installation and grub configuration...

After a network installation with a repository mounted via NFS and
starting from an USB flash drive /boot/grub/menu.lst lists the hard drive
as (hd1,0). This makes sense as the systems booted from the flash drive
initially. But after removing the stick the system won't boot because the
hard drive is now the first drive (hd0,0).
This can be fixed easily in /boot/grub/menu.lst. However, after a kernel
update I once again find the wrong entry in the menu list. What is the
place to correct this? /etc/grub.conf?

TIA
Günther

Edit /boot/grub/devices.map and delete the line starting hd0, and then
change hd1 to hd0. This should fix it.
