The drive too boot from is global, but it has nothing to do with
physical location of your distribution (e.g. you can boot from floppy).
So if you have say old redhat on hda and new on hdc:
(you may want to have either /boot partition common or copy boot images
to appropriate partitions)
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
linear
default=linux-new
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.18
label=linux-new
read-only
root=/dev/hdc1
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36
label=linux-old
read-only
root=/dev/hda1
Many people have done it many times.
Regards,
Dmitri.
