This is cool, but my machine NEEDS to boot off of IDE. There is no way 
around this - even in the bios. :(

So If I install IDE+SCSI, IDE will always win the boot. Even if its blank 
then I get MISSING OPERATING SYSTEM

and it will NOT seek other devices.

I can however boot off floppy and/or IDE CDROM at least :)
