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.
