In my system, without RAID, there is no ambiguity which one is first,
it has WinME and YaST Partitioner lists it as hda (SuSE 10.2) or sda
(10.3).
Next week I get my hands on the system with 2 disks in RAID 1 for
WinXP and a third disk with a SuSE partition. Then I can see which
one is defined first by the BIOS and how YaST Partitioner calls it.

But the first disk is defined by the boot order of your BIOS. Any
disk can be the first disk. And every disk has an MBR. It is only
the MBR of the first disk, as defined by the BIOS, that is used to
load the boot code.
