Unfortunately, it does cause problems - of course sda is checked
before sdd.  I assume that I will now need somehow get rid of the grub
on sda - what's the best way to do that?

Faint bells are ringing - about re-ordering disks, but in these days
of using disk IDs I'm not sure whether the old ways are still valid,
and I really don't want to screw things up to the point where recovery
is a very big job.  I'd appreciate thoughts from a mind that is calmer
and clearer than mine :-)
