Unfortunately, I needed the update, or I'd have flashed the older version

in  the case of having several bootable SCSI partitions on different 
physical disks, or e.g. have a customizable boot manager like System 
Commander installed that allows you to boot a specific partition on any 
physical disk irrespective of which disk the SCSI-BIOS decides is 
bootable. At least with Adaptec you can select whic one you want to be  the
boot device.

at LSI even told them what the problem was, and how to fix it (or at least
that's what they told me). Their BIOS is just not fully BBS compliant. I
*suspect* it has something to do with appeasing Microsoft.
