No. That's about as simple as they get. You don't have any other IDE devices
or something in there that the bios might be picking up?

You could always keep a boot floppy in the drive to boot the thing. I did
that for a while on one of my systems which had a SCSI control without a boot
bios chip.

My first experiences with administering Unix-like boxes was with Nextstep
on Intel hardware. Now I only run Debian. I don't miss Nextstep much. The
thing didn't scale worth a damn.
