You can boot of any of the 4 drives if you just change the setting in the
BIOS. I have mine at E and it boots at drive nr 3 (a 440MB W95) if that is
present, otherwise it boots just nicely on my 6.5GB DOS drive (nr 1).
I doun't know if CD drives counts as actuall drives in this type of
procedure (I've had diffrent results from time to time)
