From what I'm reading, there are quite a few people with amiga 3000's
having minor problems if they are setting up two harddrives. The most
common problem seems to be the need to warm boot after a cold boot to
get the harddrive to mount.  I have the same problem and my second
scsi drive is a ST157N.  At first I had thought, like others, that it
was a problem with the thing being so slow, but with all these people
having problems , I am begining to think otherwise.  
 
My harddrives are physically connected properly.  I even switched scsi
cables to make sure i didn't have a flaky one.  
 
This being the case, let me assure the sceptics that it doesn't
necessarily have to be that the people with the harddrives don't have
them installed right.
 
I haven't tried putting the seagate in the first position (as the boot
drive), but I would think that if it is really a case of the seagate
coming up to speed to slow, it would be forced to wait for the seagate
if it was the boot drive, right?  or not right?
