It has for me in the past. With 7.0 I swapped my CD-R*'s around
making the Cdrom master instead of slave, the CD-RW the slave. With
7.2, I swapped hda (8.4 WD) and hdb (13.6 IBM) around, making the IBM
hda (bootable, windoze) and the WD slave (Mandrake). Similar to your
circumstance, in that I made a different drive the bootable drive. In
both instances I never got it quite right till I finally gave up and
just booted the install CD and chose upgrade. I believe you probly
already know this but, just don't forget to change the master/slave
jumpers, and that the master drives need to be on the end of the cables.
FWIW, I've done an upgrade since installing 8.0 tryin to fix KDM.
I had already upgraded to XFree86-4.1. During the upgrade I couldn't
proceed unless I chose XF-403. No problem, when I booted back up I
still had XF-4.1. I also had upgraded to KDE2.2a2 (which is what broke
KDM), and that was left alone also, as was my 2.4.5 kernel.
