Welcome to the land of SCSI voodoo. I'd suggest pulling the new disk out first and see if your boot problem clears up. If so, next step would be to check all of your other drives to confirm that the termination is set properly on each one - off for all except the device that is at the end of the physical cable. The other thing to confirm is that ALL of your drives are using the same disk driver version, be it hard disk tools, or Apples. Mixing and matching those drivers will cause strange boot problems. Of possible, try pulling one other SCSI device you can do without for a while and see what happens.
