Nope. Not with this setting. I found out why.
As the bootable cd is one which is bootable because of a floppy
emulation on it I have to choose "A" in my BIOS setup. Therefore the
line "SCSI, C,A" will never work. It doesn't find a bootable SCSI device
and moves on to the hd.
Now, if I choose "SCSI,A,C" or simply "A,C" it boots up because the
floppy emulation gets recognized as boot device "A".
I should have read the host adapter's manual first.
