To the interested.

A while back I posted a question; would SS correctly mount and handle
a hard drive on a squirrelscsi? I received one reply, not very helpfu
as the gentleman was using a device disk on his internal IDE for his
Mac partition and CDROM only on his squirrel.

Well I want to report success. I received my keyfile yesterday and
was successful at mounting a squirrel-attached harddrive as a device-
disk. I had to do the following:

On Amiga side:
1) format and partition the HD (I have one partition) with squirrelHDToolbox
2) use scsimounter to obtain a mountlist.
	(there is a bug and scsimounter wanted to mount with a bklocksize
	of 60 M, so this allows me to work around this)
3) Create a Dosdriver "project" and edit the blocksize to be 512
from the mountlist data.
4) mount and high-level format the drive with "C:Format" or intuition.
	(at this point I was waiting for a keyfile so I tested it
	awhile to ensure maxtransfer was OK (ran a 6.5M animation))
**I kept the Dosdriver/mountlist in Storage for manual use only

In Shapeshifter (with the disk mounted)
1) with the disks menu I "chose" the relevant disk using the ASL requester
as a DeviceDisk.
2) Booted the MAC.

On the MAC
1) as the mac booted the disk is not valid,reformat/eject came up and
I reformatted.
2) Installed MacOS 7.1 on the new disk, copied files out of my filedisks
and restarted with the new disk. -A-OK
3) shutdown MAC.

On the AMIGA:
1) reran squirrelHDToolbox and set filesystem to "Custom".
	(the box the drive is in is occasionally shared with an A500
	for tape backups and I didn't want the other miggy to see the RDB and
	attempt to mount it)
2) Got rid of the Storage/DosDrivers entry for the disk
3) rebooted
4) Ran Shapeshifter with preference set to boot from DeviceDisk1 -
-et Voila!

WAY FAST, (in B&W)

In case it matters:

I am using an A1200, DOS3.1, GVP A1230+ (40MHz EC68030, no FPU) 8M Fast,
Squirrel scsi, Quant P40S HD, (SCSI unit 1), Chinon2X CDROM (SCSI).

Now my problem is using the CD. It definitely doesn't work from
the SCSI Prefs with AppleCD300 emulation. (SS gurues.)

It occasionally works using EMPCD, If I boot black and white I can get to
it, but SS doesn't recognize it in 256 colour mode! (the Mac doesn't
mount it or see it, The Miggy does)
