I thought that too and my bios does allow me to choose 
the boot order of the drives and I tried to install grub on 
the second drive using

sudo grub-install --recheck hd1

but it didn't work. When I tried to boot from that drive 
I got an error "File not found."

I checked the grub entry with [e]dit and checked the references 
per the stanza below;

title		Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-15-generic
root		(hd1,0)
kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-15-generic root=UUID=11bcbca2-da73-439c-b9e2-3c09a50b6675 ro quiet splash vga=794
initrd		/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-15-generic
quiet

and AFAICT they are all correct, the UUID is correct for hd1.

So I ran grub-install again using hd0 and it works ok.
