My FreeBSD is installed in SCSI-drive and I can boot from it. My method is to separate IDE-drive by BIOS setting, and to make SCSI-drive boot drive. To communicate IDE-drive, I make MS-DOS partion on SCSI-drive. I've never tried, but to make second SCSI-drive bootable, first SCSI drive must be separated by SCSI Bios setting. There may be better ways, and you may analyse source code in the last resort.
