Howdy,

Believe it or not, that is normal.  My AMD-chip based DC-390 SCSI host 
says the exact same thing every time my personal machine boots.

It merely means that there is no bootable SCSI HDD on the cable.

You didn't mention if the CDROM is the only thing connected to your SCSI 
adapter- this sounds like that is the case.

Don't worry about it.  I've been seeing that message for over three years!
