Depends on which controller and the SRM support of same for the
motherboard you have.  I have an SX and I recently switched to SRM from
AlphaBIOS.  I use a Tekram 390F (Symbios 53c875) and have had no problems
booting from either of my hard drives.

Hmmm...Jay would probably be the best person to ask this from, since he
usually knows what's supported in the SRM versions.  Which BusLogic card
is it and which SRM version did you try?
