yes, it can
I ubuntu running on my ide0 master and Windows on my ide0 slave.
There is a trick to getting windows to boot though. I posted it to
the list a while back, but here it is again. This trick will make
windows think it is that master when it it not:
title Windows XP
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
root (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
BTW, I installed Ubuntu and the unplugged the harddrive and installed
windows on the other one.
Hope it helps.
