I would like to know how to adjust the delay that the mac waits
before trying to boot off a SCSI disk.

I heard there is a value in PRAM  to that end.  I would like to
lenghten such a value because one of my drives takes a long time to
spin up and I always end up booting on the others.  Anybody has
any info on the subject or better yet, a cdev that would allow
me to adjust it.

While trying to figure out where were stored the menu delays,
(see thread on Hierarchical Menus) I fould values in PRAM that
were used by the SCSI manager, but before risking to play with
those, I would like to know id anybody has info on the topic.
