I seem to recall hearing that the problem is that the card is improperly
being treated as a Buslogic, and that you have to specify the boot
parameters to the "boot:" prompt when you use the boot disk.
I'm sorry that I can't be more specific, but the documentation for your
SCSI card should tell what to use for your DMA priority, and one of the
HOWTOs (or even the boot disk messages) should tell you the format for
entering the parameters.  You can ignore the BIOS32 extensions message.
