- No - this error message comes up when the host adaptor can't find any SCSI disks
- connected to it. I don't know how you can stop it from doing this, other than by
- connecting a disk. However, AFAIR the machine should still boot after a 30 second
- or so delay - at least, my machine does :-)
-
- If the error message doesn't come up when a SCSI disk is connected (and correctly
- terminated), then the adaptor *is* faulty :-(
