Cannot boot from scsi cdrom
I have a server with a scsi raid controller (for hard drives) and a scsi controller (for tape drive and cd-rom). I am trying to boot from the cd-rom but can't. During boot up, bootable media is detected in the cd-rom but the system will not boot from it. BIOS for the raid controller installs but not for the scsi controller. Is this part of the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

do_config
do_config(9r) do_config(9r)
NAME
do_config - EISA/ISA: Initializes the device to its assigned configuration
SYNOPSIS
void do_config(
struct controller *ctlr_p );
ARGUMENTS
Specifies a pointer to the controller structure associated with the controller to be configured. The do_config routine obtains the device
to initialize through its controller's associated controller structure pointer.
DESCRIPTION
The do_config routine initializes the specified controller based on its power-up resource assignments. If the device uses either an inter-
rupt or a DMA channel, then do_config also performs any setup requirements. For example, for controllers that connect to the EISA bus,
do_config initializes the controller according to the parameters specified in the EISA configuration file.
NOTES
The do_config routine is a generic interface that maps to a bus-specific interface that actually initializes the specified device. Using
this routine to initialize a device makes the driver more portable across different bus architectures. Not all buses support the do_config
routine.
RETURN VALUES
None

Routines: get_config(9r), get_info(9r)
