Ok, I see. I don't know whether windows is able to start at all if it's not
sitting on the boot drive. As far as I know that's not possible. Correct me
someone if I am wrong. Couldn't you make the system boot from SCSI,
install lilo on the mbr of the SCSI drive and start Linux from there. Linux
has no problems with it, you only need to correct lilo's view of the drives
with the disk and bios options.
