The Booter does not currently allow selection of a SCSI bus.
The MacOS does something tricky, though. If your disk is at ID 4,
and there is no ID 4 on the internal bus, then the SCSI calls to the
MacOS for ID 4 will just work. i.e. the Booter will find and load the
kernel. (note that have not verified this)
The problem will be the kernel:
a) Does the kernel have drivers for both busses?
b) Does the kernel have a way of selecting the bus for the root device?
