I just installed a new Fujitsu 425 meg internal drive in a station that had  
been booting off an external Maxtor and I have a few problems. :-(

I set up the drive for SCSI ID 1, and physically installed it. The system  
recognized it fine when I booted off my external drive (SCSI ID 0). BuildDisk  
proceeded without a hitch (this is 3.0 I'm talking about) and after a reboot,  
the new drive showed up in the workspace.

I disconnected the external drive, but cannot get the system to boot from the  
internal.  Messages displayed at bootup are:

	Starting Extended Self Test...
	Extended SCSI Test
	System Test passed
	Boot command: sd
	boot sd(0,0,0)

	SCSI unexpected msg:1
	sc: Unexpected msg

The last two lines are repeated forever.  Anyone have a clue? 

(I repeated the BuildDisk, to no avail, and tried initializing the disk with  
"disk -i /dev/rsd1a", also to no avail.)
