The SCSI disk is bootable in that set in the BIOS to boot (I used "A: CD
C:" boot order), but I don't think it has an OS on it.
You could just have a boot order issue. Maybe the SCSI disk has a
screwed up boot sector, and SCSI disk is earlier in the boot order ("A: C:
CD"), so it never gets to the CD.
