This computer (all SCSI, AHA2940U2W) has two CD-drives, a Yamaha CD-writer and a Pioneer DVD. From either one, a 4.4-RELEASE CD boots. I tried all sorts of stuff like changing the boot order in the BIOS and setting the SCSI boot device. It recognizes that there's a bootable CD in the machine but won't boot from it. A BIOS update might change this. I've never been sure I could do this safely.
