Yep, I need to boot from an attached drive. If the BIOS can't find the drives, I'm not going to even bother relying on the driver to try and find them. It's rediculous to even waste my time going down that path. So it sounds like no one has any real experience with this problem outside of a termination issue... so that's my best guess. I'll update when I can find a terminator and try that out.
