[rhn-users] how to boot from CDROM drive through Belkin Ultra ATA/133 PCI card [F5U098]

[Benj FitzPatrick]

Yasushi,
Which motherboard do you have?  My guess would be that you
need to set raid/external controller (every bios seems to have
a different name for this) to the first boot option in your bios.
