Or alternatively, try to use lilo's or grub's `swap' function.

in lilo try something like:

   other=/dev/hdd1  label=Win-hdd1  table=/dev/hdd
       map-drive=0x80 to=0x81
       map-drive=0x81 to=0x80

[ I'm not sure about the 0x81, could as wel be 0x83, or depend on the
  total number of drives?]
