Problems with SCSI

[Derek Ragona]

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.
