[NTLUG:Discuss] mixing scsi with ide

[Scott Walters]

Sorry for the confusion, let me try to clarify my problem.
I have a linux sytem running using the scsi card and drive.
The system boots fine from the scsi disk (id 0, and terminated).

I now want to add an ide drive for some additional storage.
The problem is that the motherboard keeps trying to boot off
the new ide drive.

Are you saying there is some setting in the scsi card setup
to block booting from an ide drive?

Again, I have no problems booting from the scsi drive when the
ide drive is not attached.  Its only after I connect up the ide drive
does the scsi drive stop booting.
