You're both right, I think: he probably didn't quite understand your question. Normally, one jumpers IDE and SCSI drives to determine master/slave or SCSI ID orders, respectively. This would effect what would boot up first, and I gather this is what the tech support guy was referring to. But the bios should be able to determine, eg., which gets booted first, the SCSI set of drives or the IDE set. Now I also believe that using the D,E, and F options would allow you to boot primary slave, secondary master, and sec slave drives ahead of primary master drives. I haven't had any reason to test this, tho.
