- Try changing the SCSI ID on the IBM drive to something below you HP drives.
- IBM SCSI cards/drives boot on ID 6 first.
-
- Another thing to tyr is to change the startup sequence (bring up the Reference
- and go to Set Features, Startup Sequence). This will enable you to keep the
- SCSI IDs you already have set. The computer at this point will follow the
- sequence that you gave it.
