Hi all,
I got an SCSI problem so weird I almost can't believe it's actually
happening. Basically, I can boot from HD #0 (drive 0x80, an IBM DCAS
4GB drive)) when it's alone. If I also connect HD #2 (drive 0x81, an
8.5 GB Micropolis)), then I get a "DISK BOOT FAILURE" message, and
after booting from a floppy disk, FDISK tells me that there are no
partitions on HD #0.
Both drives (#0 is a 4GB IBM DCAS, #2 is a 9GB Micropolis) are
connected to an Advansys ASC3550-based controller, #0 is SCSI-2, #2 is
Ultra Wide.
When I disconnect HD #2, everything is fine again. The weirdest part
is this: I have another 1GB IBM (DFHS) disk. If I run that one as
HD#0, I can boot from it no problem. I even can add the IBM 4GB as HD
#3, and everything works.
What could be wrong here?
Please help, I'm really getting desperate.
Thanks and Regards
