Does he have the INNERDRIVER driver installed?  He will have to remove it.
I experienced this problem when I got my hard drive.  The INNERDRIVER and 
Apple's SCSI driver are incompatible.  I don't know why the INNERDRIVER was
shipped already in the */SYSTEM/DRIVERS subdirectory on the System 5.0.2
disks but that was a MAJOR headache for me until I finally figured it out.

Then again, if he doesn't have the Innerdriver installed, I don't know
what the problem is.  (The symptoms sound exactly like the problems I had
though)
