Yes, it is:
nano /etc/mtab

....
/dev/sdb1 / ext3 rw,error=remount-ro 0 0

I checked /boot/grub/device.map:
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd1) /dev/sdb

I edited menu.lst:
# kopt=root=/dev/sdb1 ro

# groot=(hd1,0)

I run grub-install with --recheck option.

Still I have no success.

I boot the Debian Etch system from the sda, and check the /boot/grub/
directory of the Debian Etch system from the sdb. There I find strange
situation. The /boot/grub/ directory contain another /boot directory
with grub/. I removed this second boot/grub/ directory.

This must be the case because when I tried to run grub-install I tried
also to reinstall grub with aptitude reinstall grub..

I shall reboot to see how it works the grub-install now.
