Hi
Got the 1004c bios on mine and no probs booting from the Promise, got my
20Gb Hdd on Primary, a 6.4Gb on the Secondary,
DVD on the Primary IDE and CD-RW on the Secondary (all as masters) only
takes about 40 sec total boot time.
To boot from the SCSI CD-ROM I think you need to load drivers for it, the
SCSI card won't have them in its BIOS. (I think)
Never had any luck booting from SCSI CD's, only IDE ones.
Regards
Robin
