You didn't mention boot floppies, but I thought (if your computers have
floppy drives, or if either of them does) that you could achieve more or
less what you wanted (having the drive and partitions properly recognised
regardless of which machine the drive was in) by creating a boot floppy
specific to each machine. Sorry if that's not responsive to your problem.
