Hi,
I have an HP B132L workstation ( 9000/700 series ) running 10.20.

I'm trying to add an " HP Storage Enclosure " to it.
The enclosure is one of the small
ones ( about 1 1/2 ft high and 1ft wide ) that can hold 4 full height
DF disks.

The whole enclosure ( 4 disks ) can be attached to a system with 2 FW
scsi cables. I've terminated 1/2 the enclosure and am attaching the
other
half ( 2 disks ) with a FW cable. No matter what I do, I cannot
get the system to boot when the enclosure is attached to it.

I always get :
Booting Failed to Initialize.

I've made sure there are no scsi ID conflicts but still no luck.
Any ideas ?

Thanks,
Carl
