Well, maybe, but I can tell you that I'm pretty sure I've used lilo
to boot from the second (or more) hard drive, and I know for certain
(as certain as my poor brain can be ;-) that I've used lilo on a
floppy to boot off of a hard drive, and vice versa.
So, I'll take a stab in the dark and say that, for lilo, I'd do
something like this:
other=/dev/fd0
label=floppy
unsafe
other=/dev/hdc
label=cdrom
unsafe
and see if I could boot from floppy (which is a cut and paste from
my working lilo.conf on my laptop).
You will have to change this to grub-ese, as I don't know how
to speak that yet.
