Aaron, this sounds promising. 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?
