Boot Ubuntu from a floppy on to a 2nd HD?

[calvin martin]

HI  Luis,
Is this a new machine with sata drives?
if so then you can go into bios turn off hd1, and install on number 2, and
then just go into bios each time eyou want to use Ubuntu.
It is a little pain, but that why you never have to worry about messing up
drive1.
And you can select either depending on your choice.
