My setup looks like this, I boot from hde I configured my BIOS to boot from SCSI (I have no scsi-adapter but the promise card reports itself as one at boottime)
boot = /dev/hde3 delay = 50 message = /boot/message vga = extended read-only lba32 disk=/dev/hde bios=0x80
image=/boot/kernel/vmlinuz-2.4.1-pre2 label = Linux root = /dev/hde5
image=/boot/kernel/vmlinuz-2.4.0-test10 label = test10 root = /dev/hde5
This works perfectly fine here
