Default Windows on second drive

Hello Everyone,

I have an older system that I have W98SE and Mandrake 9.1 installed.
I added another hard drive and installed WXP on it while it was jumpered as
master. Then I put the drive back to slave drive and added another entry to
the menu.lst of the grub bootloader. WXP loads, except it needs a return
from the keyboard. All the lines from the menu are displayed at startup, but
before booting starts, it needs that extra return. If I remember correctly,
the lines are rootnoverify (hd1,0), makeactive, and chainloader +1.
So why is the return needed? Can you run WXP from the second drive?

Thanks, Peter
