Ah... I was not aware you could boot off the second hard drive EVER. Or so
my 91 AMI BIOS believes - I have to disconnect my IDE hard drive to get
my RLL auto-configuring 20mb Plus Hard Card to boot the system. I have
tried other IDE drives, and still, whichever one the BIOS calls Drive 1 is
the one that the BIOS uses for boot.
