Yes, at least on my current gigabyte/phoenix BIOS there are. 
Trying to boot off a SCSI card in a PCI slot is a bitch and a
half (as is making lilo do what i want), on a system that has
on board IDE and on board SCSI.  I have the IDE port open for
a CDROM, it would be easier if i could just disable them all
in BIOS.  It's all "do able" it just makes things more of a
PITA.

I had no problems of this nature at all on my 486 with an off
board IDE cotroller (for CDROM, once again) and an off board
SCSI controller for hard drives.
