Or, instead of menu.lst and update-grub, you can test the kernel option
by pressin e, while at grub boot menu and editing the kernel line
temporarily for that particular boot.

But the root cmd still needs to be hardcoded!

Oh, yes, grub's root command.

My bios gives me a boot menu to choose which device to boot.

I suppose if your BIOS is changing the device order based on whether or
not you have an eSATA device plugged in, that the problem is between
BIOS and GRUB. Once the kernel gets going, LABEL should solve the
problem.
