After installing some news have been come out. The disk is cannot be
identified even when the OS is running. I did cfgmgr several times an
just one disk is configured. The BIOS still displayes two disks ?!? So
the boot prob seems to not having anything to do with fimware. The disks
have a 68 pin connector, the scsi controller a 50 pin one. I'm using
converting adapters and up to now was thinking that all this should be
compatible. For the only disk that can be seen from within the OS is the
50 pin I got some doubt on this.
