Okay, I thought the problem was me... Now I realise it might be a little more complicated....
I have the same SCSI woes in an A3000 as you do.... Without changing anything physically with the drive I have found that one of my drives:
1. Works and is recognised but won't boot if I load a Super Kickstart from disk; either 1.3, 2.0, 2.04 or 3.1
2. Works, Boots, Formats and it generally runs perfectly fine running Kickstart 2.0 from hard drive
3. Does NOT work when replacing the kick2.0 hardfile with a 3.1 one. the machine boots; loads it's Kickstart file, reboots and then hangs the same manner as yours does; SCSI light won't go off and it just sits there. Much like a termination problem, however hardware wise nothing has been changed....
This happens to me with ONE specific type of IBM (200MB) hard drive. A 2GB Seagate works fine in the above scenario....
Almost as if the IBM drive is NOT compatible with Kickstart 3.1... I have tried al manner of things concerning termination; it simply will not work using Kickstart 3.1...
Using a rev 8 SCSI chip BTW, on a rev 9.03 A3000...
