Well, that depends on how you're set up.  No BIOS will allow you to boot
off anything but the first two disks in the system.  So if you have 2 hard
disks on your primary controller and one on your secodary controller, you
won't be able to boot off anything on the secondary.

If you could be more specific, I think I know what problem you're running
up against and know how to fix it, but I need to know the error messages
you're getting when y ou say "nothing works."
