For SCSI you should use one of these:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~hjohn/SFS184.lha
http://www.angelfire.com/amiga/greed/pfs3.html
http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/ffstd64

OS 3.5/3.9 does not support Direct-SCSI and SFS has removed it in later versions.

Without Direct-SCSI support you need at least NSDPatch on your boot partition which needs to be in the first 4GB of the drive.

With the file systems linked above, your boot partition can be anywhere on the drive and of any size.

I just answered A4000_Mad's question.

PFS3 is a commercial product. You can order issue 85 of the Amiga Future magazine, the cover CD contains the original PFS3 package as sold in 1999. Or you can wait for the author who promised to prepare a free public release which may need only a few more weeks (or rather months).
