I have a system with a pair of scsi disks. It also has 1 SATA drive. For some reason I can't understand, the SATA drive is not seen by the BIOS, so I can't boot off it, but Fedora has no trouble understanding that it's there and is happy to install /boot onto it. Of course, I have no way to boot it. I haven't tried to make a boot floppy in years.
