Well, I was kinda hoping someone else would come up
with an answer.  I kinda prefer to lurk (something
about opening one's mouth and removing doubt...).

In the past, I have forgotten to set external
controller's to be bootable.  Perhaps you need to set
either scsi or "mass storage device" bootable before
hd/cd/floppy/whatever.

Good luck.
