Marco Mea culpa. I missed the fact that you have TWO controllers. I didn't read carefully enough. I am curious about the bios being enabled for various drives. I don't think a drive can boot at all if the bios is not enabled for that drive in the card's firmware. So I'd look at the firmware set

adding SCSI disks

1998-09-20 Thread Marco Frattola
