Your motherboard also will have a SCSI BIOS, as a "real" AHA-152x
card would.  My hardware is different- I do *not* have a SCSI BIOS,
nor do I need one- I don't need to boot off any drive in my SCSI
chain.  I have only the AIC-6360 chip itself.

What I'm afraid of is that the aha152x kernel module Mandrake 6.0
uses looks for a BIOS signature, instead of taking your word that
the hardware is indeed present at the specified io port and irq.
If so, that's a problem.  In the past, I would just use a kernel
that contained SCSI support and would pass it io, irq, and SCSI
id, and all was well.

Now I'm out of luck.  Sometimes the "new, improved" installation
stuff is a step *backward*.

Cheers.
