This is not a limitation of PC BIOSen in general.  As a for-instance,
I have a PC that will let me boot off of any of the 8 ide hard disks
that it has attached to its mobo.  Many newish PC moboen that I've
looked at have similar/the same setup where you can choose HDD-0,
HDD-1... on to HDD-N to boot from.
