Indeed you can. I used that config for about two years, with a hd with
several partitions on it and another one (and a Syquest later as
well) on the AT controller. The trick was to have the bootable
partition phisically first on the hd and IIRC a priority of +3 on it.
Everything else bootable -except df0:- had to have lower priorties and
was accessed via Early Startup Control.
