Hello, I have multiple workstations ( CPQ Deskpro EP677, Dell Optiplex
GX1) that I could use to throw in an Adaptec AAA133-SA RAID card and 3 IBM
4.5GB UW-3 SCSI drives. I'll keep the CDROM as IDE, no floppy anymore
either.

I've tried to do this, and install linux 7.2 on the drives, and during the
install,(boot from cdrom), all goes well. Once I reboot, it complains about
the absence of an OS.

the config:
3 X IBM DRS34560, all on channel a
no hardware Raid defined
no software raid defined

Grub is installed in MBR.

I think it has to do with the impossibility of the CPQ to make the BIOS
jump to the SCSI driv'es MBR, but I'm not sure.

Any help, idea would be great, and rewarded with a few beers (belgia of
course)
