Can't boot fedora on a pure SCSI system

[Allan Metts]

Figured out the problem.  The SCSI card was configured for RAID 5, and 
these settings aren't visible from the SCSI card's BIOS.  I had to hit the 
Adaptec web site, RTFM, and download the RAID configuration software which 
runs from a bootable diskette.

Thanks for the help, everyone....
