Bios over ridden by Grub

Hi All,

I have two hard drives in my computer. The second hard drive is where my OpenSUSE 13.1 resides. I installed it with my first hard drive disconnected because I wanted the Grub to not override my OS on the first hard drive.

I now want to install an Ubuntu in the extra space next to OpenSUSE on the second hard drive.

The BIOS is set so that the CDROM is first in the boot order.

However when I boot my computer with the Ubuntu disc in the CDROM drive OpenSUSE ignores the BIOS boot order and wants to boot up OpenSUSE 13.1.

I cannot boot into the Ubuntu disc to install same.

In YAST > Systen> Boot Loader I see that the boot loader location is the root partition, not the MBR. Is this what is taking boot priority from the BIOS so that the BIOS boot order is ignored?
