I tried that, it it doesn't seem to help. Here is my devices.map
% cat /boot/grub/device.map
(hd0) /dev/hda
(hd1) /dev/hdb
However, I can now boot with Grub. I managed to solve this by having
grub boot from the MBR, rather from the Darwin parition. Eg:
title Darwin
root (hd1)
chainloader +1
The MBR contains the BTEASY bootloader that some old version of
FreeBSD installed. The darwin bootloader seems happy with that.
Hurray!

Still no joy, even with the disk as the primary slave like it was on
the athlon.
I wish I could show you exactly what I'm seeing. Is there an easy way
to configure Darwin/x86 for a serial console?
FWIW, when I boot with -v io=0xffffffff I see the disks an partition
schemes when it prints out the equivalent of ioreg output at the end
of the boot. So I'm certain it sees the drives, and has read the
partition tables. I have to be doing something very simple and very
stupid wrong..
