If your Adaptec 2940 BIOS is setup to allow booting a CD-ROM, you may experience:

BIOS 1.22

CD-ROM became Drive C: ,Hard Drive became Drive D: Error: "MISSING OPERATING SYSTEM"

BIOS 1.23

CD-ROM does not become DRIVE C: Error: "BOOT: Memory overflow error Please insert another disk."

To fix the problem, upgrade the BIOS to 1.25 or later.
