Normally the SCSI bios maps itself as device 0x80 (the first bootable
device). In this manner, the computer BIOS doesn't know or doesn't care
if it's talking to an IDE or SCSI device, it just knows to go to a
certain location in memory. The SCSI bios puts itself there and thus
the system is bootable from the SCSI drives.
