I boot all the time from other than drive a. It is not grub not being nice but instead is Windows. Windows ALWAYS wants to be first in line and insists on booting as the primary drive. It is necessary to add two map lines to grub to get Windows to boot.
For instance on my computer the grub boot line in FC4 is as follows:
title Windows XP
map (hd1) (hd0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
rootnoverify (hd1,1)
chainloader +1
Thanks so much for your post
I had been searching the forums for ages looking for a resolution to my dual booting problem, and this simple step has solved it.
All the best,
