Hi.. a question concerning the Supra SCSI interface/software.....

Ok, first.. the Supra software will automatically partition the first 6 or 7
cylinders of a HD that is SCSI device #0. It does this for Autoboot. However,
since the HD is on an A1000, we don't need this "feature". I was told that if
we changed the SCSI Device # on the HD, to anything other than 0, it would then
not create the area for autoboot. Ok, with this in mind, I changed the Device
# on our Maxtor 280 meg HD, reformatted it, AFTER setting both it and the Supra
software for the appropriate Device #. When the system rebooted and the 
SupraMount software tried to do it's thing. What happens is that we get mirror
image devices! What I mean is this... If we set the HD as device #7 for example
it will mount a DH0:-DH7:!! If we set it for device #2 lets say... then it will
mount a DH0:-DH2:!! Does anyone know how to change the SCSI ID# on the HD and
then have the SupraMount program mount it correctly?? Thanks for any and all
help!
