I do not think that it matters much whether one is master or slave (I 
think).

The master boot record is presumably on the master hd, and it will be 
modified by the ubuntu install wherever that is, to then use the 
ubuntu boot information (grub).

It is easier to have windows in place first, because if you install 
windows last, it does not take linux into account.
