F10 grub error 17, locks up,

...on initial install. I am switching from suse to fedora-10-i386 today by formatting and installing to:
/ sdb2 and
/usr sdb5

only one hard drive is installed; why is it showing up as sdb not sda? jmpr=mstr

/dev/sdb eide drive
1 swap
2 /
3 /home
4 extended partition
5 /usr
6 /x
7 /y
8 /z
partitions 2 and 5 were the only ones formatted for fedora;
everything mounts ok in rescue mode

I told it to write the boot loader to the mbr
grub.conf
--------------------
#boot=/dev/sda
defaut=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd1,1)....
hiddenmenu
title fedora...
root (hd1,1)
kernel /boot/vmli....
initrd /boot/initrd...
title other
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

checking fstab for a proper mounting line, it's encrypted so I can't tell, but mtab shows
/dev/sdb2 / ext3 ...

amd k6 processor in old compaq

help, please
