There is a "boot from SCSI" option in the BIOS, it just doesn't work correctly. Adding IDE drives would be expensive (and I really don't need any other drives), and additionally I would need an extra IDE controller, so this is not an option. So I guess I'll just have to work around it (which can be a pain), apparently booting from a CD without BIOS-support is not possible.
