AFAIK you can not boot from it, it is just an additional port for backup purpose or putting a CD/DVD drive !

it is a pity you can not boot from the floopy connected to the catweasel MK2 either :-(

Oh, thanks.
As Individual Computer claims this board is a catweasel + a buddha, i thought the buddha part was bootable (the stand alone buddha is, isn't it?).

Yes the standalone buddah is bootable.
 
I think the ide ports were addded as kinda of extra rather than a full feature

Still about this board, what should be the device name to use with HDToolbox?

After installing the software, i see no device loaded in RAM about this board. Scsi.device seems no good either.
I am trying to use a 160 GB IDE HD on the first IDE connector.
