Windoze needs to be the first harddisk because they never thought another
OS could run on the same system. You have two options: you can switch the
harddisks, but then we let windoze win. The alternative is to swap the
drives on the BIOS level before windoze boots: see below

map-drive=0x81

This will switch the first and the second drive, so windoze think's it is
first.
