It's not wisdom, it's what you are stuck with--the SCSI drive/ctrlr is 
mapped out of the machines CMOS drive table, and will only use its
own BIOS to boot if that's true and there is no other drive, ESDI or
MFM, in the system, which will take precedence and boot.

If you want only one controller, just uses the SCSI. There is no reason
why the SCSI should not be your boot drive.
