- This is only true if you have two IDE disks. My setup works just fine now,
- with the IDE set up in CMOS as disk 1, and the SCSI disk at ID 0, on the
- 1542B. The 1542 has a built in BIOS, which allows booting from ID 0 and 1.
- Since I have 1 IDE disk, and 1 SCSI, no problem! Boot manager on the IDE
- disk allows me to boot from the SCSI disk, which is *much* faster!
