Another guess:  you are using disks with the same serial number.  The
result is that the operating system is confused and doesn't know what to
do.  Use Diskdoctor or SECED to check (I believe) bytes 7,8,9 of the boot
sector of your disks (where the serial number is).  If those bytes are
zero or the same value over several disks then you must change them.
This problem shows up from time to time because the early version of 
twister did not set serial numbers ramdomly.
