I believe that both 1 and 7 are reserved SCSI addresses on the Mac. By
using those SCSI addresses you're telling the system to overide the default
boot source. The CD-ROM typically uses 3 - that's the installed value on
systems that come with an internal CD-ROM, such as the Performa 630CD.
Depending upon which version of the OS you have installed and which brand /
version of external CD-ROM you have, you may have to reload the OS or
locate a matching driver to install. Good luck.
