exactly and what role the first disk plays. recently i found out that
windows still wanted to install its boot loader on my first disk, even when
i was installing on another disk, which was even set as first boot device in
bios; *for nothing* in my opinion. ...and grub seems similar, apparently.

my confusion i think was in understanding between MBR and what i think to be
the boot sectors of each disk.
