= The SCSI disk is bootable in that set in the BIOS to boot (I used "A:
=CD C:" boot order), but I don't think it has an OS on it.
=

=screwed up boot sector, and SCSI disk is earlier in the boot order ("A:
=C: CD"), so it never gets to the CD.
Nope. If I take the CD out of the drive, the machine will nicely boot
from the SCSI disk...
