GA-8IHXP: f8 boot conflict w/ Promise Raid0 and adaptec 29160 scsi card

I'm hoping someone can assist with a booting issue that I have with my IHXP.
I am currently running XP Pro off of a raid 0 array on the on-board promise
controller. It works fine. I also have an Adaptec 29160 with a scsi drive
attached with an install of win98 and MDK9.1. WHen I boot to XP, it sees
the scsi card and drive with no problems. I'd like to be able to use the f8
boot loader to choose between which OS the system boots to. What I am
running into is that when I have the raid array enabled in the bios, the
array appears as bbs-0 and is an option to choose from with the f8 boot
loader however the scsi card/drive is not visible. WHen I disable the raid
array, then the scsi card appears as bbs-0 and i can boot to it. I can not
figure out how to get both the raid and scsi card to appear as boot options.
I know that the board supports 2 bbs options as my 3com NIC has an option in
its bios to be bootable. when the nic is set to bootable, it appears as
bbs-1. I thought that disabling the ability of the NIC to boot would have
enable the scsi card to appear as bbs-1, however that is not the case. One
of my old asus boards had onboard scsi that has a bios setting to allow you
to have that on-board scsi or another card boot first. I have searched high
and low in the f7 bios that i am running and can not find such an option.
Anyone know the fix here? I have tried moving the card so that the promise
and scsi do not share the same irq but that did not help. Any help would be
appreciated!

I have the same issue, and I am resigned to booting from the
RAID set only.
