The BIOS numbers your disks 0x80, 0x81, etc. and
it is impossible to decide which Linux disk
corresponds to which BIOS disk (since this depends
on the BIOS setup, and on the type of BIOS), so if
you have an unusual setup you need to state the
correspondence between Linux disks and BIOS
disks. For example, 

disk=/dev/sda
        bios=0x80
disk=/dev/hda
        bios=0x81
