It shouldn't harm, but I suggest removing it, because GRUb will
install itself every time you reboot your machine.

The command "map" does nothing with GRUB itself. Regardless of
whatever Linux says, GRUB recognizes drives as BIOS says. So, if your
hard disk is recognized as (hd0) by your BIOS, GRUB sees it as
(hd0). No further information is required.

Ok, then please follow the instructions described in this mail:

If this succeeds, I would ask you to do one more test...
