   No, it does't. GRUB gets drive numbers from the firmware (BIOS/UEFI).   
   Drive number assigned by the firmware are arbitrary, so do not rely on   
   them. The only constant seems to be that the boot drive in BIOS mode is   
   always (hd0).   
      
   /dev/sd* names have nothing to do with firmware drive numbers, but they   
   are not reliably persistent. Do not rely on them either.
