i found a relatively nice item, no partitions necesasry, only multiple hdds.
Its called TRIOS.

TRIOS is a piece of hardware that allow you to connect 3 hdd's to a single
ide channel, only being able to use a selector(thats located on the front
panel wehre a cdrom face is located) that allows you to select what hdd you
will boot from.
This is the item I will use on my next box. no interface, simply set bios to
auto, whatever switch is selected is the one that boots.
