All my AT mobo 586's boot just fine off Tekram 390's (Symbios, as was) 
controllers with Plextor CDs. I like 2940's just fine (and still own a 
few), but the Tekram cards were about 25% of the price...

The Award BIOS on the mobos specifically has an option to re-order the 
booting from SCSI devices before/after IDE drives and/or a floppy.
