Pludi is correct. I've used both options on two disks and on the same disk split into partitions. GRUB works wonderfully, and as Pludi mentioned, it will be installed during setup. If installed on the first disk (0), you will have it forever until you reformat. If you install it on the second disk (1), it will require a little more intervention during boot (telling it what disk to boot from rather than just the OS you want) but will be easier to remove if you ever decide you don't want it anymore.

seeded-in-ubuntu [options] package... DESCRIPTION
Lists all the current daily images containing the specified packages. Or whether the package is part of the supported seed. If it isn't on an image, it should be safe to upload. During the final freeze, one should avoid packages in the supported seed too. An index of the current manifests is downloaded from UbuntuWire. OPTIONS
