Well, I did find some kind of option like that, from the SCSI controlle
BIOS, and I tried it.
I am not quite sure whether you meant the same thing, but the result was
just the same. But then there was one additional strange thing when I tried
this option with no bootable SCSI harddisk connected (just having the CDrom,
CDrw and Zip drive in the SCSI bus). The installer just halted, with the
message saying the following:
unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 336a3035
current->tss.cr3=00101000,%cr3=00101000*poe=00000000
Oops: 0000
Cpu: 0
EIP: 0010:[<c01ed437>]
EFLAGS : 00010046
eax : 336a302e ebx
...and then there was quite a long litany of codes, ending into the message:
Aiee, killing interrupt handler
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle task!
In swapper task - not syncing
...and then the whole system halted.
