   It is going to depend on the BIOS Operating System and whatever   
   Terminology is used in the screens. I forget who did the ASUS bios on   
   my CM6730 system. The added kicker in that game was I change one   
   setting, save change, reboot, then I get the needed screen to make the   
   change for old fashion booting and save again.   
   One tweak caused the bios to reorder drive device which was not   
   obvious to me. Ran for two days before figuring out what the h311 was   
   going on. Wound up with grub on both drive's MBR. Was having to change   
   menu.lst to hd0, instead of hd1, to boot Mageia installed on second drive.   
   Couple of more installs and grub still complained about not finding   
   what was just installed had me going in circles.
