Could the Init module module have anything to do with it?
I compared the os9boot's from the sbdriver distribution disk that sees
the disks properly, and from one that can only sees target 0. and the
device descrptors and sbdirver and tc3 idents exactly the same.
the init module is quite a bit different.
I will play around some more.
