[ltp] bios disk numbering and f12 boot option?

All,

Does anyone happen to know if booting with the f12 option causes the 
bios to remap the hd0, hd1, etc disk numbering? For example, if the 
drive that is normally hd1 is selected as the boot drive does remap it 
to hd0 for the boot?

This is ultimately a question relating to grub and the grub hdx boot 
info. Is there anyway to create a grub framework that supports relative 
booting?

Thanks - Dan
