I might be wrong but isn’t it:

/dev/sda1 = (hd0,0)
/dev/sda2 = (hd0,1)

and so on…

so /dev/sd4 would be (hd0,3)

no?

Beware of the GRUB numbering scheme! I have these: - EFI - Mac OS X - M$ Windows - Debian - swap While Debian is /dev/sda4 in the classic naming, it is (hd0,4) in GRUB parlance. (It's the first logical partition, (hd0,3) being the extended partition). You should have an hybrid GPT/MBR partition table. If you partitioned using an old version of Mac OS X, install rEFIt and use gptsync (included in rEFIt, select “Partitioning Tool” in the boot menu) to synchronize the tables.
