Should I be able to BOOT from my SCSI CD Burner?  My BIOS includes the
following option in the Boot Sequence

CDROM,C,A	- is this limited to IDE CD-ROMs?
SCSI,C,A	- is this limited to SCSI Hard drives?


Do I need to set a particular device number?
Can you boot at all from a SCSI hard drive?

I am about to put in a real SCSI card and a second CD-R (reader).
Will I have any hope with the second Reader?


Motherboard:	Gigabyte GA-586TX3
BIOS:		Award.  Version I'd need to reboot...
CD-R:		Matsushita CD-R CW-7502
SCSI card:	Adaptec (single device card packaged with CD-R)

Thanks

Scott
