I have a Tyan K7 Thunder motherboard which has a pair of Adaptec 7899W controllers. The bootable disc is hooked up to one of the two contollers. In addition, there's an IDE drive that's hooked up to the builtin IDE controller. The BIOS is config'd to boot off of SCSI. Do I need to do anything to tell the CDROM to boot off of SCSI? -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have .0. happened but none stranger than this.
