The problem is because the boot manager expects that only drives 0x80 (C:) and 0x81 (D:) will be accessable through the INT 13 interface it uses to load the second stage boot for the bootable OS's you have installed. You would need a hacked INT 13 BIOS to handle drives other than C: and D:, and you would need a boot selector hacked to know about your hacked BIOS.
