FYI: You can test with a virtual card ;) lsi emulation in recent qemu versions is good enougth that the original boot rom runs. You can fetch it here: http://www.lsi.com/DistributionSystem/AssetDocument/files/support/ssp/sdms/Bios/lsi_bios.zip qemu -drive if=scsi,file=$image -option-rom 8xx_64.rom Gives you a list like this ... Press F12 for boot menu. Select boot device: 1. AHCI/0: QEMU HARDDISK ATA-7 Hard-Disk (8192 MiBytes) 2. #20 ID00 LUN0 QEMU QEMU HARD 3. #20 ID01 LUN0 QEMU QEMU HARD 4. DVD/CD [ata1-0: QEMU DVD-ROM ATAPI-4 DVD/CD] 5. DVD/CD [AHCI/2: QEMU DVD-ROM ATAPI-4 DVD/CD] 6. gPXE (PCI 00:03.0) ... where entries 2+3 are created by the scsi rom. HTH, Gerd
