hard drives and Solaris

Hello. I want to install Solaris on my computer. I have two hard drives - one is SATA and other one is PATA. In system's bios I can't choose my PATA drive to be bootable (i don't know why, it has master switch on). So, the question is: does anybody knows if I can control from which hard drive to boot? I've heard there are devices, but so far they work only with PATA (EIDE) drives. Or I'm better off buying another SATA hard drive?
