Hello,

I have a Windows appliance which I would like to always boot using the active 
partition on disk 0 (hda).  In operation this appliance is booted with one or 
more disks (hdb, hdc) which may or may not also contain an active (bootable) 
partition.

In practice, if disk 1 (hdb) also contains an active partition, the appliance 
boots from disk 1 rather than disk 0.

Is there a way to control this?  Ordinarily the boot device would be set in 
BIOS.  

Any insight into this problem would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Stephen
