[NTLUG:Discuss] No SCSI Boot Device Found - BIOS not installed

[Fred James]

Boot order is CD-ROM, floppy, Hard drive.
The CD-ROM is IDE, but of course the OS also sees it as SCSI - but the 
OS hasn't loaded yet when the error comes up.
The only true SCSI devices are the tape drive and auto-loader of an 
Overland LoaderXpress DLT tape library.
If it is "normal" - I'll just live with it.
