I've certainly got further but not in the way you might expect. I contacted the Shuttle supplier (again) and this time they told me there was a problem with interaction between the Samsung CDRW/DVDROM and the SATA Maxtor drives, which meant that the boot sector was getting stomped on.
About this time, I got bored with the whole idea of SATA, I'm trying to get a server running and haven't got time for intellectual games, as interesting as they may be, so I got the supplier to swap the shuttle for a different one with two IDE channels. It's not finished yet...I completed the install, but found one of the new IDE drives was dropping out of my RAID1 array...ran the diagnostics and lo and behold! I have a defective disk (it was supposed to be new/tested!). I'm going back to the supplier tomorrow (Monday) and you can imagine the kind of converation I will be having with them...
