Hello!
I have Win XP and Debian Linux installed on seperate hard discs and I
have to swap the cables whenever I want to use each one.
I want to put the Win XP disc on the IDE master interface and Debian
on the IDE slave and use a boot disc to boot into Debian when I need
to. (i.e. if the boot disc is in, the system boots Debian, else boots
Win XP)

I looked at the GRUB docs but I'm finding it hard to follow and I
didn't see a configuration similar to how I want it to work.

Can I do this? Any pointers to tutorials with a recipe on how to do it
would be appreciated.

Many thanks!
