Yup. I have the same thing.

What I do is go in to the BIOS and set the slave drive
from "Auto" to "None" when I want to boot from the first
drive, and switch it back when I want to boot from the
second drive. Kind of a pain, but it works...

I think it's just symptomatic of the nforce2 chipset which
is only partially supported due to nvidia's refusal or
inability to release proper specs.
