I don't have that specific model, but I've seen bios versions that just
list 'hard drive' as one of the choices where you are setting boot order
but there is another place where you pick which of several hard drives
should be primary. But rather than fight with that part, I usually
install grub and /boot on whichever drive the box prefers to boot and /
can be somewhere else - even a drive not seen by bios.
