In this case, I don't think that would help... right now, FDISK won't let me
do anything with partitions on the first scsi drive (which is where my Warp
system partition resides) except delete them. So deleting and creating a new
boot manager on the ide drive, which seems to be fine, still won't let me
add the SCSIWarp partition to boot manager.

Boot manager is on the ide drive.
