I urge you to take a look into the BIOS/Firmware on the Motherboard.
There you will have an option called Boot Device Order.
Make sure that the SCSI controller channel with that system disk is
set as the first boot device. Then you set up your OS to be of type
Other (in BIOS). Save and exit the BIOS. From now on, you stay away
from the BIOS.
NOTE: You might want to disconnect ALL ide-disks (and CDROMs if you
have a SCSI cdrom) if you are reinstalling.
Finish the installation, and power down. Reconnect all IDE-devices,
and boot up again. Continue to format and arrange the ide-drives as
desired. Then install src distribution, recompile kernel and reboot.
Good luck, and remember to drink a lot of coffee. ;-)

Hi,
The problem is that there's not an option to select the scsi-controller
as first boot device. I can boot on the scsi-disc but only if i don't
have any IDE-discs in it. If I put in IDE-discs it tries to boot to the
first IDE-disc. The BIOS is very limited in the ProLiant 400.
FreeBSD is already installed on the machine and I don't need to
reinstall it. The problem is only that it won't boot to the scsi disc if
I dont write "1:da(0,a)/boot/loader" at the boot prompt every time i
want to boot it. So I want the boot manager to boot to
"1:da(0,a)/boot/loader" as default.
