Originally true, but there's been a firmware revision that enables
boot-from-SCSI.   Unfortunately, the cost of the firmware (the last
time I looked, about 3 years ago) was quite high...it was cheaper
(and easier!) to buy a used 9x7 than to get the firmware!

I have an HP 9000/845 (same hardware as 949) here that boots from
SCSI...works fine, as long as you don't try to use a boot disk
larger than 4 GB.
