To boot from SCSI on x86, the SCSI host adapter needs to have a BIOS.
Some cards don't, which would be a bit of a problem for booting, since
you don't have a means of accessing the drive until the OS and SCSI
driver are loaded.
I dont know why but i assume this happens because this pc is old and
it doesnt "get along" with the scsi. Is there anyway that i can first
boot from
cdrom and then somehow make the system boot from the hdd ?
Assuming no bios, you'd need to boot from cd, but you could then mount
root from hd. Check there are no config options for the card that would
enable a bios first, though. It would be helpful to know what card
you're trying to use.
