I don't know if this is relative, but on my AT306, I could boot from my 
400MB IDE drive, but not the 1GB SCSI drive.  I tried everything to get 
it to work.  The 1GB drive was good, just won't boot.  I blamed the SCSI 
drivers, since I also had a hard time with the CD-ROM.  Also the AT306 
OS9 was 3.O without many of the official microware drivers, So it was 
easy to blame.  I know I didn't give you any real insight, but maybe it 
will trigger someones memory.
