If the SCSI is enabled you should get a boot message and be able to go into
the SCSI configuration.
All SCSI controllers will list the devices found on boot, so if you aren't
seeing any devices you don't have it working right. Check the BIOS again
and check your cabling, and termination.
On many newer motherboards you can enable or disable the SCSI in the
BIOS. You should make sure the SCSI is enabled. If the SCSI is enabled
you should get a message from the SCSI BIOS to hit some keys to enter the
SCSI configuration. This is all using the Motherboards firmware and

Sure there is no reason you cannot. Check the compatible hardware list

PCI-X is larger slot usually running faster at 66MHz vs. standard PCI at

To debug this you need to kick up the logging on sendmail, add the loglevel
