Subject: Can I boot from an AHA1542C with an IDE on board?

I have a Adaptec 1542C with a magnetic optical drive attached and my
regular 120Meg hard drive, connected to a generic IDE controller.  Is
there some way i can boot linux/386bsd derivitive directly from the
SCSI controller?  I'd rather not reformat my IDE drive, and set up
things that redirect the boot process to a different controller.
Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch,

Warren
