Does your SCSI controller have a setting for booting from CD-ROM?
All of mine do (though it's not always easy to find...).
I do not know.
Can you suggest a query for google?
The ones I tried do not return any matches.
variations of:
"SCSI controller setting booting CD-ROM"
"howto set SCSI controller boot CD-ROM"
The query would be for your model of CD-ROM to determine whether it can be a
boot device. Every LSI/SYM875* controller I've encountered can automatically
boot from CD-ROM without any host adapter configuration, but only if the
CD-ROM device is boot capable, and that capability includes understanding the
type used by the CD you wish to boot from.
# lspci | grep -i sym
01:0a.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c810 (rev 12)
I googled "LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c810 (rev 12)"
nothing regarding being able to boot was returned,
only the bug I see when I boot my system.
