Edit, ah - doesn't boot from the second drive, it just swaps order…
Please post your grub.cfg and try to add rootdelay or rootwait, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torva … meters.txt

Don't use /dev/sdX as identifiers in fstab, they can and will change from boot to boot: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pe … ice_naming
