Only things you've probably already tried, and haven't helped ... like
checking the machines BIOS boot choice, and whether the DPT's
configuration has any boot options.
It occurs to me that IBM may have wired down the boot sequence in such a
way that an Adaptec would work, but anything else won't be found.
An alternative, though not overly attractive, option is to look at whether
you can concoct a boot floppy with the kernel you want, wired to find
everything on the DPT's volumes.
