While I can't give you a direct answer, perhpas this will help. Due to old
bios, when I reboot this computer (when in linux) the scsi adapter doesn't
get quite reset properly and so does not recoginze any of the devices on
the scsi bus. Sometimes I have to power the system down (as opposed to
reset button or 3 finger salute) to get the scsi bus back on track. From
this, I think that once the bus recoginzed its devices before os boot, you
can't add more devices. All scsi devices need to be on when the computer
is turned on.
