It looks like that should still work.

The other options is to use lilo or grub as the boot loader, then show them
how to boot m$.

If the machine is running m$2k it shouldn't have the 1024 cylinder problem,
so it'll be possible to boot an OS on the second drive.

The mbr used will be that on the primary drive, but grub and lilo can sit i=
n
a drive partition and be called from that mbr.
