paul..
thanks for the response.... you are right... in the bios.. i've already set
the "order" for booting the system. as stated, without the ide, everything
boots from the scsi ok. the order is:
a:
cdrom
scsi
ide
etc....
however, when i add the ide... reboot... the system goes to hell!! a number
of "failures" occur during the startup process.....
i've tried setting the ide jumpers to slave/master/setting the system
determine the setting... no luck....
so.. the bottom line is that i've spent the better part of an 8 hour day on
something that i've done with Windows in 20 mins!!!!
thanks..

Depending on which BIOS your MB uses, in one of the set up screens you
should find a line that reads something on the order of "Boot Sequence"
with one of the options being EXT (for external), in a nearby line you will
find something like "EXT =" with one option being SCSI. Set that option
and make sure that your SCSI drive is set up as the boot drive per your
SCSI controller (normally unit 0) Mine is set up "EXT, A, CDROM" but there
are a bunch of combinations that you might choose to use.
Just a suggestion, you might want to have a swap partition set up on the
EIDE drive and spilt paging between the 2 drives. I also normally install
an emergency /boot on any additional drives as a quick and dirty way to get
back on the air in case of disk failure
However, I think making the BIOS changes will fix your boot sequence problem
