Thid default boot option in BIOS is this your boot drive selection from 
IDE0 or IDE1. When you select IDE1 from BIOS to boot from, it then does 
following:

(hd0) == IDE1
(hd1) == IDE0

When you select IDE0 as boot device from BIOS it does following:

(hd0) == IDE0
(hd1) == IDE1

When you select IDE1 as boot device from BIOS, this is correct 
device.map. If you install to IDE0 and boot from IDE0 then your previous 
map was correct.
