Hmmmm... Uh, i don't want to sound totally stupid. Firstly, i want to thank everyone who contributed suggestions for solutions to the problem i've been having with my external scsi2 drive. I have tried them all and my IIci still wants to boot from the external drive. No matter what i do. I've even tried invoking the spirits of particularly unpleasant ancestors. Nothing is working. Could there be some incompatibility with the type of scsi or drive? I'm running 7.5.3 on this machine. Pretty much a stock installation. No hacks or cleaver personalizations. I've changed the scsi id on the external drive, i've tried booting with different key combinations. Whatever. Nothing has worked yet. The drive works very well with my PB1400. One thing that i found interesting was that when i boot from floppy, neither the internal nor external hd are detected.
