Can the promise raid controller be used as the bootable / standard two disk
controller without RAID?

There is usually an ATA driver for the 378 on the download page, implying
non-RAID operation is possible. I think the only thing you cannot do is
run ATAPI (CD/DVD/burner) from the Promise. At least the manual mentions
that.
