That's been the way it is as long as I can remember, and I've got an Adaptec 2740 controller on this here 486/Phoenix box. If the BIOS is going to boot from a hard drive, it will boot from an IDE drive if it can find one. You'll have to change the boot order to CD/Floppy first, boot from something like Tom's RooTBooT, or some live-CD, Knoppix, et al, do your copy, take the IDE drive away and go with the SCSI.
