You sure can!

I have a dual boot win98se system on another box which has the bootloader
on /dev/hdb. Just change the boot-up sequence in the BIOS and you should be
fine. I *think* i have my bios set up to boot off of the "D" drive instead
of "C."

Yes I have the same setup windows on hda and linux w/bootloader on hdb, 
however I just use windows NT boot loader to point to hdb that way I 
don't have to go into the bios screen every time.  To do this generate a 
linux.bin with dd .. "dd if=/dev/hdb1 of/linux.bin bs=512 count=1" 
without the "  " then copy the linux.bin file to c:\ and edit the NT 
bootloader to something in the neighborhood of this, depending on your 
setup:
[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microshaft Windoze XP" 
/fastdetect
c:\linux.bin="Gentoo rocks"

Just make sure you put the c:\linux.bin="Gentoo" in there and the NT 
bootloader will point to grub on hdb and boot your Gentoo system...no 
bios switching!

Oh yeah I forgot make sure you "su -" to get dd to do it's thing.
