What you need to do is boot up with both drives, go into the startup
device cdev, and select the OTHER drive.  This is really selecting the
SCSI id of the boot device.  Macs boot off SCSI id 0 by default, but
can easily be changed by this cdev.  BTW, my manual shows that BOTH
drives need to be terminated.  You need to terminate the beginning
and the end of the SCSI chain.  Hope this helps!
