Booting from a SCSI using an Adaptec 7896

[Tobias Speckbacher]

Sorry it of course is apic, its been a while since I had to use this.
You may also need a different boot disk other than the cd, but I am a
bit foggy on the specifics.

If you google for it you can still find some references to the issue.

OK, I will.

Where would I find "<whatever other options...>" ?  I didn't know there
were any.

Also, is it apci or apic?
