No.  That's about as simple as they get.  You don't have any other IDE devices
or something in there that the bios might be picking up?

You could always keep a boot floppy in the drive to boot the thing.  I did
that for a while on one of my systems which had a SCSI control without a boot
bios chip.

My first experiences with administering Unix-like boxes was with Nextstep
on Intel hardware.  Now I only run Debian.  I don't miss Nextstep much.  The
thing didn't scale worth a damn.
