You can use
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root filesystem_uuid
instead of
root=(hdX,msdosY)
and avoid having to deal with the grub1 to grub2 change of disks
starting at 0 and partitions at 1. Why the grub developers didn't make
disks to start at 1 when they made the partitions start at 1 is a
mystery. Maybe we'll be surprised in a future grub3 :)
