Hi,
My system:
EIDE:
hd on IDE 0: IBM hd with lilo in mbr and root partition on /hda2
SCSI:
Dawicontrol host
Plextor SCSI cdrom
Plextor SCSI cd-writer
The host is recognized at bootup. It has a BIOS. I can get into setup
with DEL and there I activated: Bootable, Boot-Device has SCSI ID 3
(which is the cdrom)
My Award BIOS allows booting from SCSI, so I set the boot line to
"SCSI,C,A"
To my knowledge everything is done so far. At bootup the SCSI lines tell
me that there is a bootable cd in Device 3.
Despite all that it doesn't boot from cd but goes on to lilo on
/dev/hda.
Before I bought the SCSI cdrom I had an atapi cdrom. I could boot from
this atapi *and* when switching in BIOS to "SCSI" as bootdevice it
booted from the SCSI cd-writer.
Now I thought with setting the bootdevice in the SCSI-setup it should be
ok, but it is not.
BTW I'm using an original Mandrake Air installation CD which *is*
bootable and has proved to be before.
