[geeks] Chickens, and SCSI

I decided that today was a good day to build up my 'test box' that I've
been collecting parts for.  I'm attempting to use my "trusty" Adaptec
3940UW card (like the 2940UW, only dual channel).  The machine works
just fine, as long as it doesn't enable the BIOS.  So, if I turn the
SCSI BIOS off, it boots.  If I turn off the bootable CD support, and
don't attach any hard drives, it works.  Whenever it tries to install
the BIOS, it just sits there, forever.  numlock still toggles, it just
never gets any further in booting.  I'm stumped.  Any ideas?
