It depends on the cards, which card you are booting from, the phase of
the moon, and about a zillion other intuitive things. (I've tried setups
with an BusLogic 542 and an NCR 810 card where I try to boot off the 810.
The bios is happy, but the system is not, and it will cheerfully plunk
/dev/sda down on the wrong disk.)
