SS1 - boot from 2nd SCSI ctrl?

Does anyone know how (or if) this is done?

I'd like to boot a SS1 from a disk attached to the 2nd scsi
controller, an FSBE Sbus card in slot #1.  Looks like the PROM won't
recognize any of the disks beyond the system board controller.

Does anyone know if there's a PROM-upgrade available, or if there is
some other trick to make this work?

thanks,			-bruce.
