Right now the bios seems to pick the first cdrom drive that it finds (in order of cdrom-a, cdrom-b, ..). This is done in the bios, so it is a little bit harder to change. (Hopefully fixing this would also make it trivial to be able to tell the bios to boot from hdb/hdc/hdd instead of only supporting hda). > Listen to free Music: http://www.jamendo.com > Windows is proprietary, use free ReactOS instead : http://www.reactos.org -- Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty.
