Yes, but there's nothing in there about telling it that I will
not be having any SCSI boot devices, only non-bootable ones.

But I don't want it to boot from any SCSI device and I'm surprised
it seems to think I ought to be...most machines with add-in SCSI
cards use non-SCSI boot devices (IDE disks) and use the SCSI chain
for additional peripherals.

I mean get it to check for devices and activate the SCSI BIOS.
Right now because it can't find a SCSI boot device it ends up
saying SCSI BIOS Not Loaded, and it doesn't try to check for
devices.
