Since all PCI devices are all PnP, it is difficult to determine which device is addressed first. Some newer motherboard BIOSes may use advanced options that identify devices and allow you to select which device will be assigned resources first. Otherwise you may have to physically switch the device cards on the PCI slots so that the boot device is in the highest priority slot number (see previous question). If you do not require the FastTrak100 BIOS to boot from an array and it is only to be used through a driver under the O/S, one simpler solution would be to disable the FastTrak100 BIOS so that it does not affect the boot sequence at all.
