Actually the boot information states that the Fireball is on SCSI ID 2
and the SCSI controller is normally at SCSI ID 7, though some odd cards
set themselves up as SCSI ID 0 by default (AFAIK the Future Domain may be
one I had one but do not remember), did you change the ID to 6?.
Most PC and SCSI BIOS's only support booting from drives at SCSI ID 0 or
1 that may be your problem.
