IDE and SCSI will work perfectly together in any system. There is absolutely
no need to only use one or the other.

: 1. set the SCSI ID of the first hard disk to 0
:    the system will try to boot from SCSI device 0 on startup

This is only needed if you want to boot from the scsi disk, although
it doesnt hurt otherwise...

: 2. ensure the SCSI chain is terminated correctly.

This sounds a lot like it could be the real problem. Read the SCSI-Howto
for details on how to do this (and make sure it's terminated at _both_ ends
of the chain)

: 3. ensure that the "BIOS is enabled" on the SCSI card so that the system
:    will try to boot from a SCSI device.

Again, this is only if you want to boot from the scsi drive, although again
it doesnt hurt otherwise.
