Um, this is very badly stated. There is one MBR per hard drive. Period.
Some motherboards will automatically boot to IDE-before-SCSI, some
SCSI-before-IDE, but most newer (P-II or better) can be confifured to
your needs. Linux may or may not agree with the BIOS settings after
boottime, which can be really confusing. It's been months since I ran a
mixed system, but IIRC, the kernel considered /dev/hda to be the "first"
drive, not /dev/sda.
