convert from scsi to IDE

umm..I have a freebsd install on a SCSI drive
and I need to convert this to IDE.

I have an issue with the fact that no matter what I do, if I install
and IDE drive - the BIOS will always try to boot off of the IDE drive.

Hence my issue.

So any thoughts on how I can boot on my SCSI drive and then setup and 
transfer over the data to the IDE drive?

I have done this perfectly in the reverse (IDE -> SCSI) - but not this way.

thanks-
