Unhappy Partition numbering in GRUB, HELP!

I installed FC2 already, but i have problem loading it up. I chose to install GRUB on the /boot, then later i don't know how to boot up FC2...

I have 2 HDDs, first houses my windows xp, which i do not wish to change the its MBR. I want to put GRUB into the secodn hdd's MBR, so i followed the instructions that a guide i found, yes, GRUB is on the MBR already, but the problem is, it can't boot anything due to wrong partition numbering.

Note:
first disk - secondary master - hdc
secind disk - secondary slave - hdd

Accrding to fdisk -l of hdd:
hdd12 /boot
hdd13 swap
hdd14 /

But if according to windows xp's disk management, /boot is 5th partition, swap is 6th, and / is 7th

So, the problem is, GRUB uses different numbering, such as (hd1,5), (hd1,12)... i don't understand it...

So, is there a command in GRUB that i could see the list of all my partition with their numbering as well?
