   No it doesn't, as shown below. When it does, it is just a coincidence.

   Of course not. The BIOS does not care about GRUB settings.   
   If by "drive map" you mean /boot/grub/device.map, this is just a hint   
   used by GRUB tools such as grub-mkconfig.   
      
   Use UUIDs or LABELs instead of drive numbers or names.

   > hd0 sda   
   > hd1 sdc   
   > hd2 sdb   
      
   You demonstrate that the BIOS drive order is not in the order of sda,   
   sdb, sdc... (which is as unreliable as the BIOS drive order anyway)

   What is the blockID ?
