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.

bsnes-purify
bsnes-purify(6) Games Manual bsnes-purify(6)
NAME
bsnes-purify - Tool for preparing ROMs for usage with bsnes
SYNOPSIS
bsnes-purify scan source-dir output-file
bsnes-purify output source-dir target-dir
DESCRIPTION
bsnes can not open all ROMs. For example SNES ROMs have to be without copier headers and with the filename extension .sfc. Recent versions
of bsnes support games to be arranged in cartridge folders (see below). bsnes 0.089 and later will only support cartridge folders.
bsnes-purify searches a directory for ROMs and performs an action on them. It also finds ROMs contained in .zip files.
bsnes-purify scan writes a list of the found ROMs together with their SHA256 checksums and sizes to a file.
bsnes-purify output creates for each found ROM a cartridge folder with the files program.rom and and manifest.xml in the target directory.
If the original ROM was a headered SNES ROM, program.rom will be the same, but without the header.
CARDRIDGE FOLDERS
Cartridge folders are intendended to contain all data belonging to a game. The name of a cartridge folder has to end with one of the file-
name extensions sfc, fc, gb, gbb, gbc or gba, depending on the system the game is for.
The user has to make sure that the following files exist
program.rom
the game ROM
manifest.xml
Additional data about the cartridge, generated by bsnes-purify. Sometimes bsnes-purify can't guess all the information for this file
and it has to be edited manually.
dsp1.rom, dsp1b.rom, dsp2.rom, dsp3.rom, dsp4.rom, st010.rom, st011.rom, st018.rom or cx4.rom
Some SNES games have pre-programmed coprocessors (DSPs) built into their cartridges. For these games, the required DSP programs also
need to be in the cartridge folders.
bsnes itself also writes files to cartridge folders, for example the data that would be saved to RAM in real cartridges to save progress,
or bsnes specific save states.
