TC2120 adding old Initio SCSI card boot order

[Simon Mander]

Hi there,

I am have a TC2120 with IDE drives installed with Windows NT 4.0.
I am adding a SCSI adapter with two SCSI HD's, the adapter is by Initio 9100 and is quite an old card.
The card works fine, I can see all the drives but it always tries to boot from one of the SCSI drives and will not boot from my IDE drive.
any ideas ?

thanks

One option is to disable the on board bios of your scsi HBA, doing this it will not support the "Booting form scsi" feature:

-------------------
BIOS Setup
Enable Host Adapter BIOS. This option controls the host adapter usage of SCSI disk
I/O routines inside the host adapter BIOS. By disabling this option you will eliminate the
host adapter s ability to utilize boot capabilities in I/OHIGHWAY. Setting this to  no will
also disable all subsequent features displayed by this on-screen panel. The default
setting will be on. (Yes)
