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.
Ah, so the first disk, as defined by the BIOS, may not be the one which I'd call first, the Master Disk at the end of the primary flat cable. 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.
