Hello,
I solved changing disk order in bios too but this is a workaround.

I'm using 2 IDE disks:
Primary master   hd0  /dev/hda    NOT Linux
Primary slave    hd1  /dev/hdb    Debian

Before, bios booted on /dev/hda and I got grub menu after 15-20 seconds.
Now, bios boots on /dev/hdb and boot is fast as should be.
It seems that, booting on the 1st disk, it was looking for /boot/grub 
that is on the 2nd disk.

In both cases, before and after, kernel loads quickly.
