Dunno!
I put a spare pata drive in, installed Fedora 12 on it and now use the 
bios to change boot order, no problems.
Check the /boot/grub/menu.lst in the Fedora 12 on the second drive and 
see if it actually points to the new drive and not the Fedora 11 drive.
I haven't succeeded in getting Fedora 12 boot to boot Fedora 11 on a 
Sata Drive... yet.
