Have you actually tried LILO? I have a SCSI-only box that the BIOS thinks has no disks at all (there isn't even a floppy drive) and it boots quite happily from the SCSI root disk. The only gotcha was that I had to put the "linear" option in /etc/lilo.conf, but you may not find that necessary. Frank
