Sounds like a problem with either your CD-ROM or floppy drive, or a problem with the MB. One of my machines boots from SCSI and contains other ATA drives. Three of my other systems are entirely SCSI. I've never seen a problem reading the kernel from boot media. One thing I did have to do when adding a 12 18 GB drive shelf was upgrade my controller firmware (Adpatec 2940UW2 --> 2.20).
