Continuing CyberSCSI saga...

[inewham]

I've just bought and installed a CyberSCSI for my CSMk2 and a SCSI HDD, it all appears to work except that if I remove my existing IDE HDD, I cant boot from just the SCSI. From past experience trying to install drives I supect I've missed something (possibly to do with RDBs, is there something apart from Install/Partition/Format? ISTR struggling to get an IDE drive recognised once). Here's what I've done and I would be grateful for any clues anyone can offer.
Thanks

Booting from my existing IDE disk, using OS3.9's HDToolbox I Installed the SCSI disk and Partitioned it. Next I formatted it then copied everything over to the SCSI disk. Next I set the boot priority of the first partition of the SCSI disk higher than the IDE and apparently I could boot from the SCSI disk. I could see both disks in the early startup menu and under workbench

However... Next I removed the IDE expecting to boot from just the SCSI disk and it wont boot - I just get the insert floppy screen. I rebooted into the early startup menu and the SCSI disk partitions aren't visible. However if I reconnect the IDE and reboot the SCSI disk is visible again.

I've even tried flashing the CSII ROM again just to make sure (thanks again for the manuals Brandon) but I still get the same results.

Does anyone know what I have to do so I dont have to keep an IDE disk hooked up? I'd like to have just the SCSI drive alone.

Another thing to add is that I'm using SFS - Is it possible that I only have SFS installed in the IDE HDD's RDB and thats enough for the SCSI HDD to work when the IDE is in?

I dont really understand how RDBs work and how to check/manipulate them  :roll:

Providing that SCSI termination has been set correctly to your chain, you must make sure that the system partition of the SCSI hard drive is set to bootable from HDToolBox.

I'd already done that. Provided the IDE disk is in I can boot from the SCSI disk by raising its boot priority to be higher than the IDE or by just selecting it in the early statup menu.

Everything is correctly terminated, the SCSI works fine when theres an IDE drive in the system.

That was the one - Thanks guys
