 You probably have boot0 installed on your second drive.  When
 boot0 is configured to save your last choice, it writes a modified
 copy of itself to whatever disk the BIOS considers to be the first
 one.  Since the boot sector is only 512 bytes, it really isn't
 reasonable for boot0 to attempt to detect these sorts of
 configuration errors.  Your only boot manager should be on the
 master, and you should use it to boot all of your operating
 systems.
