Possibly OT: Canon Objectstation SCSI problem

Does anyone on the list have experience with the Canon Objectstation
Model 41. I think it's just short of being on topic.

I'm trying to install NS3.3 on my Objectstation. It has a Buslogic
BT-445C SCSI controller, VLB, and I can boot the box, start installing,
Next finds the controller, the CD-ROM and the hard drive. The install
routine asks me to choose a disk for installation and then fdisk tewlls
me "Bogous BIOS information, please reset the bios setting in your
mother board or SCSI controller card". I have noticed that I don't get
the usual "Press Alt-B for setup" message that I've gotten from Buslogic
cards in the past or that the pdf manual from Mylex's site talks about.
  Did Canon install some funky custom Rom on the card? I'm going to
take a spare 486 VLB motherboard home tonight and try setting up the
drive using a DOS driver disk that came with the Objectstation.
