The problem is the typical PC boots only from hda and is unable to boot
from hdc. In the BLU demo, the solution was actually to swap cables so 
the second drive became hda.

I haven't actually looked at add-on IDE raid cards, but I would expect 
that
they don't suffer from this limitation. They'd be kinda useless otherwise.
