[nflug] SCSI PCI

[justin.bennett at dynabrade.com]

I belive the issue is the Bios is not handing off the the SCSI card for 
booting, if you believe the boot order is correct, I would try looking at 
the manual for the motherboard (or pc) and see if there is a setting you 
uneed to boot off of scsi, possibly a bios update. The Add-On card I would 
assume would include SCSI, but possibly could mean a network card boot or 
something. 

Your SCSI card is set to boot off of the ID of the drive correct?

Correct, GRUB never shows up in the beginning of  a boot, I've told the 
BIOS to boot bootable addon on cards first, there are no IDE Hard 
Drives.  I'm not sure, but is it possible that my board may not support 
booting from PCI, I thought bootable addon cards was meant for PCI?

The Host Bus Adapter, the cable, and the SCSI Drive are all compatible 
with each other... that is not the issue.
