Installing, formatting, and building the drive was made possible in large part due to the Installation Note created and posted by Izumi Ohzawa. I would like to thank Izumi as well as the other people that contributed in the formation of that document. My attempt at installing, and building the drive went very well with ONE NOTABLE EXCEPTION. The Drive was mountable, but could not function as a BOOT DRIVE. Izumi's directions referenced Rory Bolt's formatter. If you used the formatter and read the directions therein, and used the command: /usr/etc/builddisk -s sd660.1 /dev/sd1 and then set the SCSI target to 0, you would have no problems. WARNING to others. ignore the adjustments to Izumi's instructions contained in the referenced post. -- "Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." -Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
