First and foremost, make sure your SCSI card allows you to boot using
any bootable SCSI device.  You have to be more specific or visit
Adaptec's webpage to check if your SCSI adapter allows this feature.

Once you've determined that the card does indeed allow booting, you
must set your motherboard's bios to boot SCSI first.  Then you go the
SCSI card's BIOS and set up which device should be set to boot from.
This is usually done by specifying the SCSI ID# of the device that you
are interested to boot from.
