Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Can't boot from scsi?

Content Type: text/plain

Jon:

The two most common SCSI problems are cabling and termination.

A connector/connection can go flaky after time,
even if it once seemed firmly mated.
(I've got one of those on _MY_ SCSI boot drive!)

Try re-seating everything SSCI and do all you can to eliminate
cabling and termination before going any further. I believe
it's most fruitful to go with the high-probability choices first.
