Sorry about the confusing terminology. I read the labels off of the
A7V (1.02) motherboard. The Promise ATA100 is labeled Primary/Secondary
ATA100 while the '686A is Primary/Secondary IDE.

When I was using this configuration, I was had the system boot
in this order:
DVD-ROM (on VIA '686 secondary-master)
ATA100/SCSI (Promise primary-master)
Floppy
IDE (disabled, as I didn't have any other drives attached)
The boot order of the Promise/SCSI is as per above (ATA100, then
SCSI). My SCSI card isn't installed.
Anything in particular you're interested in my BIOS configuration?
I also get this behavior if I run only on the VIA '686 primary and
secondary connectors:
UDMA66 drive on primary-master
DVD-ROM on secondary-master
Boot order is
DVD-ROM
IDE
floppy
ATA100/SCSI is disabled
I've also disabled the Promise ATA100 bus's BIOS in my current
setup.
