GRUB boot loader support booting Windows on not /dev/hda.
When you setup GRUB on your Linux or create GRUB boot floppy,
you can boot Windows by using `map' command. ie) When you
execute following,

     map (hd0) (hd1)
     map (hd1) (hd0) 

you exchange /dev/hda and /dev/hdb virtually.
GRUB:http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/


When we discussed the same article, Romain Lerallut insisted
that LILO also supported that feature.
