Check on the boot loader installation tab, to see where it's booting from.

David, can you post your /etc/grub.conf here? I'm curious as to where
you installed your boot loader.

I'm guessing the complication for Dave (OP) is on the location of the
boot loader?

I'm not exactly sure how GRUB works but Dave's /etc/grub.conf reads:
setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0) (hd1,5)
quit

which seems like the boot loader is installed in MBR of sda but it is
trying to load GRUB from sdb6? Probably YaST will show a different
story. But if this is really the case, will it cause a problem to have
stage1 on one disk and stage2 on another?

Mine is:
setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0) (hd0,4)
quit

Quite straightforward - I installed in MBR of sda and load GRUB from
sda5. All within the same disk.
