Re: Dock II, internal IDE, external SCSI...boot off SCSI!???

[Alex Judd <ajudd@quantime.co.uk>]

According to my memory (and my Adaptec High Performance Bus Manual), 

"If both SCSI and non-SCSI disk drives are installed, then the non-SCSI
drive is always the boot device."

Only alternative is to remove/disable the non-SCSI and then you can boot
from the SCSI.

I hope that helps..
