that's interesting, could you provide me this documentation? Where must
a potential CD-ROM loader be located? In the ROM of the SCSI controller
or the main ROM? But anyway, several different implementation would be
required to support the different SCSI controllers (the WD7000 and the
built in controllers of the DN2500 and the HP4xx).
