Unless the Adaptec card detects a bootable device at ID 0, 1 or 2 on the SCSI chain, it won't install the SCSI BIOS...in other words, the SCSI BIOS routines won't be addd to that of the rest of the system. If there were a bootable device (hard disk, CDROM, etc) at SCSI ID 0, 1 or 2, the BIOS would install itself into the system BIOS routines, to allow the system to be able to boot from that drive. If there's only a scanner on the SCSI system, you can ignore the "BIOS not installed" message. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org:2000 To be notified of updates to the web site, visit http://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update, or send a message to: site-update-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a message of: subscribe -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
