Here's the setup:
 
   Amiga 3000
      Quantum 40 meg -- SCSI address 0, LUN 0
      Seagate ST157N -- SCSI address 1, LUN 0

Now then.  When I do a cold boot, the quantum shows up fine and dandy
and everything works well BUT the Seagate doesn't show up.  When i warmboot
, however, the seagate will then show up fine and dandy.
 
What Causes This?  Is this just a problem with the Seagate being slow in
initializing?  Is there a problem with the way the harddrives are jumpered?
Do any other Amiga 3000 owners have two harddrives?
 
This doesn't bug me too much because my machine stays on most of the time,
but it is perplexing.

Now, I've also been reading about reselection here.  What is
reselection in reference to hard drives?  Should I have the
reselection on my quantum 40 meg OFF or ON?  It is currently on, and
the reselection on the Seagate is OFF.  But what is reselection?
 
I'm calling commdore about this tommorow.  I've got to know!
