	The same thing happened to me with a Syquest. I originally had it
connected with an old Adapted mfm drive, and the Syquest would not boot
directly on the first try. When I replaced the mfm drive with a Quanton
52, the Syquest would boot fine (though I immediately moved my C drive
to the Quantum, as it booted faster anyway.) I found that ICD's coldboot
program was about the quickest way to get started, especially after it
was configured to only look for scsi id0 before starting.
