If I were to create a second boot option in grub.conf with "root (hd1,0)", then could I get it to boot from hde? I guess there would also have to be a way to tell the BIOS to look at hde for the MBR?
That depends on the BIOS disk order. If you have BIOS disks 0 and 1 as
your two disks and the boot data is set to boot of hd0,0 (on both) then
usually if disk 0 fails the BIOS thinks of the second disk as disk 0 and
it works, depends a lot on the BIOS
