For awhile i had 3 ide controllers in my machine and 6 ide drives, with
windows one being the secondary master [hdc] .. this is what i had to do to
make it work:

disk=/dev/hda bios=0x80
disk=/dev/hdb bios=0x81
disk=/dev/hdc bios=0x82
disk=/dev/hdd bios=0x83
disk=/dev/hde bios=0x84
disk=/dev/hdf bios=0x85

append="ide2=0x1e8,0x3ee,12"

# boot windows: 
other=/dev/hdc1
    label=Win
    table=/dev/hdc
    map-drive=0x80 to=0x82
    map-drive=0x82 to=0x80
