Seems a little silly to me, grub doesn't do that when booting off a hard
disk. It would be silly if everytime you booted off a harddisk you had to
go to the grub shell and tell it where your menu.lst file is.

Besides I thought that it found the drive first using an older version of
the firmware.

Yes I do, thats the problem.

The partitions are laid out like that by PeeWee linux. There is no (dc0,1)
I potentially wont partition the drive once I settle on the installation.
