With a boot manager (IE: DocsBoot) what Adam proposed will work.

I have Win'98 {spit} as my first primary on HDD1, Warp 4 as the second
primary on HDD1, and SuSE Linux 6.0 as my first primary on HDD2.

DocsBoot installs to the MBR of HDD1, and allows me to boot to any
bootable partition on any of my HDDs.

Yes, HDD2 is the slave on IDE0, but even if it were on IDE1 it would
still boot.

registration cost.
