I'm not a dos boot expert, but my understanding was that dos assigns  
drive letters, so if you're the boot manager, you should be able to  
install drives any letter you like, regardless of where they fall in  
the actual boot chain.  I've seen programs from time to time that did  
fiddle with boot sequence (such as boot around) but it required a  
valid floppy in drive a that it could patch to force boot from  
another drive.
However, if you're the controlling process at boot time, I see no  
reason why you couldn't assign any device of your choice to drive C:  
whether it's the first hd or the third usb stick, but again, I'm no  
expert in dos boot code, so I could be completely wrong here, but  
since dos must get it's boot sequence from somewhere, and device  
assignment happens in the kernel (not in bios) you shouldn't have  
trouble assigning any letter you like.
I know bios assigns the boot sequence, but afaik, it does not dictate  
drive letter assignments after that point.
