So, tell me -- is this a crazy idea?

I'm not a big fan... it's good to know that the bootloader setup
actually works after the install rather than 4 weeks later.


But we always get the bootloader setup right!

Besides, it avoids the 'forgot to take the boot CD out, stuck at
isolinux' problem.

If the default's to boot (hd0), I don't see a problem there.

Aside from that, I see BIOSes now that have bootmenus one can pop up to choose a non-default boot device; on such systems it's the administrator's choice to have it default (sensibly) to the primary hdd.
