The problem is that GRUB accesses the hard disks in the order the BIOS
affects the ID numbers, that is you are not sure that the order you have
apparently (hard disks 1, 2 and 3) matches the BIOS order.

At a guess I suggest to try to boot from (hd2), meaning that perhaps 1
and 3 are primaries and leasted before the slaves, that is that the
second disk has becomed the third one (for GRUB).

At least you can try.
