problems with booting from SCSI

[deadkenny]

Hi,

I can't seem to get my Plextor Ultraplex 40 to boot a Bootable CD with Floppy Emulation. I have a ABIT KT7A RAID, I tried hundreds of combinations of 1st 2nd and 3rd bootdevices - nothing works. I don't have a Floppy attached (by I don't think that would make a difference).
Only devices are: IBM ICL35 40GB as Primary 1, CD-RW as Secondary Master (or slave) and the UltraPlex as the only SCSI device. The Bios won't recognize my CD-RW to boot from. What could be wrong? All devices are working well in another Computer.

what scsi card?
does it have a bios?

it's a dawicontrol dc2975U and it has a bios. when I enable Boot from SCSI CD-ROM in the BIOS it will boot the Windows NT CD but it will say "can't find NTDLR" when I try to boot a CD with Floppy Emulation it won't boot from CD at all, it just sais "NO SYSTEM DISK" or somethig like that.

Is this a true bootable CD? If it is an original Microsoft NT 4.0 cd (not a burned copy...) then it should definitely work. I'm no so sure about the burned copies working.

It worked fine in my other System where the "only" difference ist another mainboard and another cpu (K6-III). must be a problem with the mainboard then I guess.
