There is a known "problem" on the macII.  When you get a bad crash, the PRAM
(Parameter ram) get erased and then the macII doesn't know anymore what is
attached to it, therefore harddrives won't boot up anymore.
I have an init called "INIT PramFix" which is suppose to fix that problem.
If you want a copy of it just let me know (it's only 1K) and that should
fix the problem you are describing.

Hope this helped,
