PCI IDE Card

[Cyber Source]

ok, this seems to be going on and on now. Jason's wanted to know if his 
mobo could boot off of an ide controller other than the onboard mobo's. 
I was pointing out how to get the mobo to boot from the add-on ide 
controller. If the only drive he has working will be on this add-on ide 
controller card, the mobo has to take him there first, before 
Lilo/Grub/whatever takes over. The mobo has to know where to look for 
the boot record (Lilo/Grub) first, so if his mobo has no scsi setting in 
the boot sequence, then his mobo will not see the drive and the 
Lilo/Grub therein.
