It depends on the cards, which card you are booting from, the phase of the moon, and about a zillion other intuitive things. (I've tried setups with an BusLogic 542 and an NCR 810 card where I try to boot off the 810. The bios is happy, but the system is not, and it will cheerfully plunk /dev/sda down on the wrong disk.)
