Rod, some BIOSes allow to freely change the numbers
among IDE devices, while others (most) do not.

But NOT when you JUST change the boot order sequence.

Thats what he claims and he's just plain wrong on that.

The meaning of "rdisk(0)" is "the hard drive having an MBR and nearest
the head of the BIOS's hard drive boot order".

Wrong, it has absolutely NOTHING to do
with the bios's hard drive boot order at all.

And I told you how to prove that it has absolutely NOTHING
to do with the bios's hard drive boot order at all.

So when one changes the hard drive (having an MBR) that is at the head of
the hard drive boot order, one
changes the hard drive designated by "rdisk(0)".

You can keep respouting that drivel till the cows
come home, it changes absolutely nothing at all.

This may easily be checked by anyone familiar with boot.ini and the boot
process.
