Nevermind, A clear case of not checking the docs long enough. Sorry....
SysRefMan_17 clearly states (for those smart enough to read it :) )

	The "SCSI tests" parameter enables more comprehensive testing of the

	SCSI drives installed either internally or externally).

Since I don't have a drive, it obvious is not going to work. Sorry to waste
