The bios tries the following boot devices in order:

Primary IDE Master (Harddrive 1)
Primary IDE Slave (Harddrive 2)
Secondary IDE Master (Usually CDROM 1)
Secondary IDE Slave (Usually CDROM 2)

However these settings can usually be configured in the CMOS setup.

When a disk drive is booted, the Master Boot Record starts and tries to boot to each partition on the drive marked as bootable, usually starting with the first partition (C:\ on harddrive 1)

When a partition is booted, the partition's local Boot Record starts and attempts to load the operating systems on that disk in the order specsified in the bootloader configuration.

Boot Records can sometimes list the avaible boot choices in a menu during startup like if you have a dual-boot configuration.

I tried b4 and it didn't boot with just D:\ in it.
