[NTLUG:Discuss] mixing scsi with ide

I'm running 2.2.13 with a BusLogic scsi controller and one scsi hard disk.
I want to add an ide drive to the system.
The problem I'm having is that the motherboard always wants to boot
from the ide drive and not the scsi.  I set the boot order in the bios
to SCSI,C,A  but that has no effect.  The ide drive is not formated
so there is no bootable system on it.  I've tried making it a master
and a slave.
Other than booting from a floppy that transfers control to the scsi
disk, is there a way I can auto boot the scsi drive and then later 
mount the ide?
