Found two disks with the same number 0?!?

[Sam Morris]

On my raid1-using system, I get the following error at boot:

  error: Found two disks with the number 0?!?

Robert Millan suggested I apply a patch to print out the two disks with 
this problem; they are (hd1,2) and (hd3,2).

If I comment out this check then I can boot normally. Robert things GRUB 
is being too conservative here; perhaps this check should be removed?
