Boot sequence is normally controlled in the system bios.  Some systems 
give you the option to select the boot disk (disk 1 or disk 2) during 
the boot process.  Others require that you go into the bios and manually 
change the boot sequence each time that you want to boot a different 
disk.  Or .... you can modifiy the configuration to always boot to 
'grub' and update the grub.conf file to allow you to select the boot disk.
