If the user wishes to boot off a disk attached to ServeRAID adapter: If more than one SCSI adapters have SCSI disks, then the SCSI adapter on which the user wishes to install Windows NT should be the first to be scanned by system BIOS so that its disks are where the system attempts to boot off. If AIC-78xx is disabled in system BIOS, then system BIOS will NOT scan AIC-78xx for a disk.ĭISABLING the AIC-78XX SCSI chip in the system BIOS does NOT prevent Windows NT from scanning it.īoot-up rule of system BIOS architecture: If both AIC-78xx and ServeRAID have disks attached to them, then the one which is scanned first by system BIOS (depending on their PCI slot) is chosen. The first disk found while scanning the various SCSI adapters. Windows NT places the OSLOADER on the disk on which you decide to install Windows NT.įrom which disk will the system BIOS attempt to load OSLOADER?
Where is OSLOADER placed when NT is installed? The OSLOADER then loads the NT operating system. In the case of Windows NT, the loader is OSLOADER. The system BIOS tries to load the operating system loader off the first disk it scans. This document contains boot tips for Windows NT and SCSI on Netfinity 7000.
