I'm trying to add a Seagate SCSI drive w/ adaptec 2940 card to my HP
266 machine.  Win98 recognizes the scsi card, the card recognizes
the drive.  I low-level formated the drive via the scsi card
utilities, but the machine won't boot.  It appears to default to the
scsi drive looking to load a bios from it rather than from the ide
drive and just freezes.
What is causing the scsi drive to appear to be the primary drive
rather than secondary?  IDE jumpers set as primary, SCSI has no
jumpers to set it to secondary, seagate drive documentation doesn't
address this issue.  Should I set the ide as the secondary drive?
