Question about OS 3.9

[melott]

I have a minor problem with OS 3.9..............
When I was running OS 3.1 it wasn't a problem.

On my A3k I have an external SCSI box. In it I have
a CD Rom and a 9 gig drive. I only turn the external
box on when I want to use the CD Rom or put or
get some data from the drive. With OS 3.1 this
was not a problem, I just turned on the box when
I did a cold boot, everything worked fine.
(I have back-up partitions called SYS-Bak and
Work-Bak plus a Storage partition)
Now with OS 3.9 my A3k 'WILL NOT' boot unless
I have the external box turned on.
Whats going on here???

It does nothing .............
It won't even look at the floppy drives.

But when I turn on the external box it boots
up fine.
I've left it set for several minutes and it just hangs
there and if I turn on the external box while its
hanging it will boot up.

OK......... I have a WarpDrive accellerator in the
A3k. I use the Warpdrive SCSI for the internal
boot drive ( its much faster than C= scsi).
The internal drive, a 1 gig Conner has the term
set (jumpered), no other term on that SCSI and
no other drives.
I use the Commodore SCSI for the external box.
The external SCSI box has a Quantum Atlas
9 gig drive (not terninated) and a CD Rom
(last drive on chain) terminated and also an
(active?) terminator plugged into the pass-thru
(out) port on the back of the box.
This is the same setup I used for OS 3.1 and it
worked fine. When I upgraded to OS 3.9 I didn't
delete the data in the SYS-Bak partition until I
was satisfied OS 3.9 was working OK.  When
I deleted the backup OS 3.1 and copied a mirror
image of my OS 3.9 boot partition is when the
problem started.
