This question is not for this list, you should consult the Linux FAQs to
answer this very common situation.
The Bios of the MotherBoard are set to boot up on the IDE first then the
SCSI. If you have a later and advanced motherboard you may have the option
to have the Bios boot from the SCSI first, then IDE.
Your bios boot setting may be: FLOPPY, CD-ROM, SCSI, IDE, NETWORK.
If you do not have this option, you'll have to stick with the IDE, which
means setting up the MBR on the IDE. Or boot from a floppy.
For further info, check out the Linux FAQs.
