Hi Brian,
I have one of my Buddahs (on an A3000D) running without any software installation at all, I have a backplate CF reader connected to the 40 pin on the Buddha and it boots without any s/w having to be installed from the floppy..
Is the IDE drive pre-partitioned and formatted with AmigaOS or are you going to do that once you get it going with the Buddah?
If it isn't already partioned etc, what I would do is try booting from the WB "installation" floppy (with the buddah in place and IDE drive connected) then use the HDTOOLBOX program to partition and format the drive... (Just make sure you partition the correct drive and not your existing SCSI!) Then copy all your stuff over from the SCSI to the IDE drive , power off, disconnect the SCSI and you should be right...
