BIOS boot order

[Bradley Miller]

On my system (PII-400Mhz) I could select which one would boot first.  I
just made my NT drive boot first and then if I wanted to run Linux I
could swap back the boot order.  Worked pretty slick.

RedHat on my work machine and have a 4.3Gb IDE Im going use for Linux. 
I dont want Redhat to install a boot loader on my M$ drive so does
anyone know if I can just change the boot order in BIOS from IDE0 to IDE1
and boot that way?  During the install Redhat will ask me where to put
the boot loader either /dev/hda (MBR) or /dev/hdb1 (First sector of boot
partition) should I choose the latter?

install?
