Seeing as you've got it working, you probably don't want to pursue the
BIOS thing, but it shouldn't matter if you have two identical model
drives (they're just names in a list, for your convenience), it cares
about where they're connected.  I've certainly dealt with this issue on
one PC, here.  BIOSs usually give you two ways to select the drive to
boot from; picking from a list, or moving entries up and down in a list.
Whilst it'd be hard to tell if any changes happened if they don't have
different names, it should be possible to re-order things.
