OS-BS happily offers me the choice of all three disks, but there's nothing I can type to the BSD boot program to get it to boot from the SCSI disk. I'll try changing the BSD boot and see what happens. >The easiest way I have found to boot from my SCSI drive is to simply >tell the BIOS I don't have any hard drives.
