Let me summarize: your motherboard BIOS has Symbios support to let you
boot from attached SCSI devices? If not but Tyan support says so, you
may need a BIOS update to a version with support.
If you do a clean new install to have the system on the SCSI drive you
can boot from Fedora should self detect the LSI/Symbios controller. You
might choose the correct driver by hand (if booting with disk use the
drivers disk).
To let your Fedora system boot from SCSI you need to use the ramdisk
(initrd.img in /boot) with the SCSI kernel modules inside.
