For what you want you need grub (the boot manager) installed onto your disk 5.

Most Linux installs default to putting grub on the existing boot drive
(the dual boot option) but give you the option of specifying a
different location.

Mythbuntu *may* allow you to do this too.  You probably need to ask on
the mythbuntu forums (try searching for "specifying grub location").
This isn't a mythtv issue.
