Read "info grub". There you will see that the "first hard drive" will always be "hd0". Generally you have installed the first hdd as master but it's not needed. The modern bios can boot from any hd. If you for any reason leaves just an slave drive and the bios calls grub from it, grub will name it as "hd0".
Of course, you will have other problems after boot because linux will try to mount /dev/hda, which is not installed.
