Issues booting from a SCSI drive

I've got a Intel BX chipset mobo (with an integrated IDE controller) with 2
IDE drives (IDE0 has Win98), a Adaptec 2940UW with 1 drive (with FreeBSD).
I've set the BIOS boot order to SCSI then IDE.  I've tried installing GRUB
(v 0.90) on the SCSI drive.

Problems / Questions.
1. From the documentation, I understand that the SCSI drive should appear as
hd0, but if I do a "find /boot/grub/stage1"  I am told it exists on
"(hd2,0,a)".  So when I do a "setup", I set root to be (hd2,0,a) and do a
"setup (hd2)".  When I reboot, I get the infamous "GRUB GRUB GRUB ...".  If
I try to boot from floppy, all is fine...  SOOO, any ideas why my SCSI drive
appears as hd2, and why stage1 is barfing (at least I'm assuming that's
what's happening).  BTW, all I'm trying to do is chainload /boot/loader on
the FBSD disk.

Thanks!
Paul
