Two disks, Linux (at least partially) on the first disk

This case is equivalent to the configurations where only one disk is in the system. The Linux boot sector resides on the first hard disk and the second disk is used later in the boot process.

Only the location of the boot sector matters -- everything else ( /boot/boot.b, /boot/map, the root file system, a swap partition, other Linux file systems, etc.) can be located anywhere on the second disk.
