I do this all the time when windows is on the master ide0 drive and does the
booting. It is a good idea to have a Linux boot floppy when doing all this
though. One can then make linux the default.

I normally do not make Linux the master ide0 drive with it booting first (with
its tracks on the MBR). What changes would be made to grub to boot? Something
like:

title Windows
        rootnoverify (hd1,0)
        chainloader +1

I assume windows is just installed on the slave drive as though it were the
master?
