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
