No, it doesn't. If you have a BugSur and you try entering Qlogic
BIOS by pressing Alt-Q the system will hang.

If you get SCSI timeouts this usually means that IRQ routing setup is
wrong. Neither lilo nor eli incorporated full ACPI support yet. The
solution is to use 2.4.0-test7 kernel plus the latest IA-64 patch. This
patch has support for ACPI parsing which means that it should be able to
correctly set up IRQ routing from the ACPI tables. I have tested test7
on a 2P BigSur with BIOS 60 and it works without problems.
