Hi there,
One other thing I meant to mention is that in the install program if you set
things up such that you wish to boot from a SCSI device while having an IDE
card in it, the system wont boot. We broke some teeth on that problem for
sometime before finding info in our Adaptec manual to the effect that while
one has a IDE controller in the system it is impossible to boot of an SCSI
device.
I think most of you will only be using SCSI devices and so not have come
accross this problem much. Suggestion: in the install program if the
installer tries to boot from the SCSI while IDE controller was detected,
warn them that this is impossible on the IBM PC platform.
