I have an old emulex SCSI to ESDI controller connected to a WREN III.  I have
the file system mounted and operational. The only problem seems to be booting.

I have to boot using SCSI PROBE from the control panel.  

The boot sequence results in one of two things:

a) Driver set to do blind reads,  systems crashes sometimes with crazy video
sometimes with sad mac 0003.


b) Driver set to do regular reads,  System hangs with happy mac icon on screen.

Any one got any ideas?

Thanks in advance - Mike
