8.0 RC1 cd boot problem [btx/bios]

[grarpamp]

Played with this some more. Both the add in cards have their own
bios. Their bios can't be disabled. Their raid is not configured
so they act as dumb paddles. All bios are up to date.

Referring to the below map...
- If I swap the position of the cards it won't boot from cd.

- If I swap the position of the cards and yank the drives off the
20269, its bios doesn't load and the system boots from cd.

- Of course removing the 20269 boots from cd.

Booting off the hard drive works fine in all combinations.

So I'm pretty sure this is a BTX loader problem involving bios
scans?

BTX stops right after detecting the ich4 devices...
bios cd is cd0
bios drive a: is disk0
bios drive c: is disk1

This config boots fine from cd and is now in use:
