Are SCSI devices detected by a standard x86 BIOS? Can you boot from a SCSI drive?
No, but you can detect SCSI if the SCSI host adapter has its own BIOS included. Higher end SCSI host adapters generally have this capability, while the lower end ones do not.
Even with a host adapter that includes its own BIOS, you will still need to boot from PATA or SATA drive to detect the SCSI drives.
