I'm not too sure you want to do this.  According to an article I read on the
boot process (& some experimenting on my part to verify this) of the Mac, the
machine looks for drives in this order:  floppies (any drive), internal HD with
ID=0, bootable SCSI device found on bus by a search starting with ID=6 (highest
next to the Mac) and going to ID=0.  Therefore, if you have an internal drive
with ID=0 that you want to be your boot drive, leave it there to prevent the
Mac from doing the extra bus search.
