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.

ICP(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual ICP(4)
NAME
icp -- ICP-Vortex and Intel Storage RAID driver
SYNOPSIS
icp* at pci? dev ? function ?
ld* at icp? unit ?
icpsp* at icp? unit ?
scsibus* at icpsp?
DESCRIPTION
The icp driver provides support for the newer (post 1997) ICP-Vortex GDT and Intel Storage RAID controllers.
The ld driver provides access to logical devices (disk arrays) presented by the controller. The icpsp driver provides direct access to other
SCSI devices attached to the controller, such as tape or CD-ROM drives.
DIAGNOSTICS
pci_mem_find: expected mem type 00000000, found 00000002
This message may be displayed during autoconfiguration if the controller's memory is mapped below 1MB in physical address
space. This can be disabled either through changing a setting in the controller's BIOS utility, or changing the position of a
jumper on the board. See your controller's documentation for more information.
SEE ALSO
intro(4), ld(4), scsi(4)
HISTORY
The icp driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.6, and was based on the FreeBSD and OpenBSD drivers of the same name.
BUGS
ISA & EISA front-ends and a management interface are needed.
Older PCI boards are not yet supported.
