[OT] SCSI termination trouble?

The boot drive normally IS at ID=0, however. That's a real convention
throughout the SCSI usage. I don't recall ever seeing a system that would
boot, say, from ID=4. Most PC's will promote the ID=1 device to the boot
rank, but not if ID=0 is present but manlfunctioning. YMMV, of course.
