That's BusLogic to y'all, boy... *swagger*

My BusLogic bt747s Installation Guide, and bt742a Technical Reference
Manual, both say that you must have your "drive" set up as SCSI ID 0
or 1 to be booted from the BIOS.  It says you only need to this if you
intend to boot from the drives.  It doesn't say whether these "drives"
can or cannot be CDROM drives.  I see no facility for specifying what
SCSI ID to boot from -- it tries 0 and then 1, from what I can see (I
only have one SCSI drive so far, anyway).
