The bootselector can only directly deal with the partitions on the
same disk; I wrote it to fit into one sector (512 bytes), and
there wasn't any room left for more options.

What it can do, though, is boot from another disk by pressing
f5-f10 (f5 is the first harddisk). So if you configure the 2nd
disk with fdisk -B as well, you can boot the partition you
want in two stages. I.e. you first press f6 to get to the 2nd
disk, and then choose the partition as usual.
