Hello,

I have an Intel OR840 and cannot for some reason boot off a bootable CD-ROM.
I am using BIOS 255 and my SCSI devices are:

ID 0 : IBM 18GB
ID 1 : IBM 36GB
ID 2 : Plextor CD-RW
ID 3 : Pioneer 305S DVD-ROM

I've tried booting off the CD-RW, the Adaptec 29160N controller detects the
bootable disk but the M/B just won't boot from it.  In the OR840 BIOS, the
boot order is set to Floppy, SCSI, None, None.  I've tried AUTO instead of
SCSI, still didn't work.

Thanks.
