GRUB with IDE and SCSI disk

One of my systems has an IDE disk and a SCSI disk.  I upgraded the IDE 
disk and I need to reinstall grub.  /boot is in /dev/sda1, but the system 
boots off of /dev/hda.

I've tried various things to install GRUB on the new /dev/hda, but 
everything results in a complaint during boot that

Error 21: Selected disk does not exist.

For example, in GRUB shell, I installed using:

 	> root (hd1,0)
 	> setup (hd0)

The installation seems to work fine, but boot fails as above. I had this 
working before, but for my life I can't recall how I did it differently 
from this.

What am I missing?

Thanks.
