Hi Gary

The SCSI controller will only install its BIOS if it detects
a hard disk or bootable CDROM when it performs its device scan
just prior to the computer booting. If the SCSI controller
doesn't detect a hard disk or bootable CDROM, it displays the
message that you are seeing. The message is perfectly normal.
