Compaq Proliant 1600 Boot from CD
I tried booting from windows OS cd but it does not search for the CD at all. I know the drive works because if i boot from a bootable floppy disk and can look at the files on the CD but ofcourse you can not start install of server 200 or 2003 from dos unless the scsi drives are setup.
It has 4 scsi drives in and all appear to function properly but i can not even get into bios and boot sequence to try configure anything. Only thing i can do so far is boot from floppy. If i dont boot from floppy the scsi start and checks ok but then ask for system disk.
Hooping for help ASAP
Cheers

Re: Compaq Proliant 1600 Boot from CD
The older Proliants didn't have a 'proper' on board BIOS and you had to install an F10 System Partition, using the System Config Floppies as Igor said.
This will put a small (50Mb as I recall) partition on the start of your logical drive.
Then you can get into all the settings (boot order etc) by hitting F10 on bootup.
