Greetings Linux users:

I have a problem with the above mentioned equipment. I added the HP Dat
device to mu scsi2 bus (id 7) and was not able to boot my machine. The
scsi card could not find a disk to boot from and gave me the error INVALID
DRIVE PLEASE INSERT DISK TO BOOT.  From this I concluded that since the
only disk I had on the machine was the seagate at id 0. I needed to have
the id of the seagate drive higher than that of the DAT drive to I tried
to change  the seagate id to 8 (lack of good jumpers). Well the scsi card
only sees the disk when it is set to id 0. I tried to mess with the scsi
settup but with no luck.  Is my thinking correct in having the disk id
greater than the DAT id? Does anyone have a similare configuration
(seagate drive 4.3UW and DAT drive is HP DDS-3 Autochanger)?  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx!
