Um, not that I've found.  I've found that it's more a function of the 
motherboard.  My ASUS
P3B-F lets me boot any drive whatsoever.  I booted windows 98 and 2k from 
the secondary master for a while.  Windows didn't care at all. Secondary 
master was a CDROM.  I'm quite sure my Intel SE440BX-2 lets me boot any 
drive, too.  My computer at work also doesn't boot the first drive.  If 
I'm not mistaken, it boots the primary slave.  It's 
an AMD box with an ASUS motherboard, too.  My gigabyte also lets me boot 
any drive, too, and I imagine if I decided to switch jumpers, things would 
be fine.
