Justin,
   Are you sure that...

root (hd1,0)
find /boot/grub/stage1
setup (hd1)

...is what you want to do with the second drive. Rereading the
information I have on grub and RAID-1, it appears that you want
to really do...

device (hd0) /dev/sda
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
device (hd0) /dev/sdb
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)

to make sure that both drives will be hd0 so the second will
come on line if the first fails. Of course I guess that
assumes that when the first A SATA drive fails that the
second B SATA drive becomes hd0 instead of hd1. That should be
the case, no?
             Jack
