I would replace /dev/hdb3 with /dev/discs/disc1/part3.
Ouh, one thing I don't understand:
root (hd1,0)
, but in the next line
root=/dev/hdb3
that doesn't make sence to me...afaik it should be the same.
First root (hd1,0) states where the kernel resides (ie. /boot) in this case hdb1
second root=/dev/hdb3 states where the system root (ie. /) directory resides. They can be in different partitions.

Got X working , along with Gnome and KDE.

NIC and eth0 --> networking
X and all --> desktop enviorments

[EDIT]
Just for reference, these are the lines I added to the pre-existing Grub (on primary MBR) to let it boot Arch installed on the secondary HD (so the bootloader install step was skipped):
title Arch Linux
root (hd1,2)
kernel (hd1,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/discs/disc1/part3 ro
That was for the 2.4.xx kernel. For 2.6.xx, it'd be "vmlinuz26"

]]>title=Arch Linux 2.6
root (hd1,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6 root=/dev/hdb3
I don't know which version of the 2.6 kernel it's installing though...
In the meantime, I'll give what murkus suggested a try.
Works fine. The thing that puzzled me at first was GRUB's menu.lst syntax. see my earlier post on this matter:

hope that helps.

]]>1) Does Grub have to be installed on the primary HD's MBR?
2) This is probably a stupid question, but is it possible to boot from a slave HD without changing the jumper settings? (With Grub installed onto the slave HD's MBR)
3) If Grub's installed on the primary HD MBR and I physically disconnect the slave drive (noise reduction) after Arch has been installed onto it, is that going to cause problems with Grub?
