I am a very new guy to NextSTEP 3.3 (Whitebox). I have an IBM SCSI harddrive DNES-309170 in a 24/7 manufacturing environment. I am stunned by the drive life (going on 7 years!). I need to add a 2'nd SCSI drive into the HP-Kayak. The drive is an IBM DDRS-39130, and the SCSI card 'sees' the drive when it is the only one in the chain, but the drive (imaged from my original drive) won't boot. I have learned from this site how to clone a drive. I could use some pointers on getting a 2'nd drive added first, before I can clone the original drive. I have remembered to unterminate the additional drive, and position it on the cable correctly. My currently working drive boots up, but I can't see the new drive.
Any directions you can give someone new to NeXT would be greatly appreciated right now.
Thanks,

Since i have running both drives on different black NeXT equipment i think it could only to do with your SCSI setup. On NeXTs it will boot from the lowest ID, i have no clue how your controller will work.
Thanks, you are corrrect - just my SCSI ID's were off. Maybe you can answer a 2'nd question for me: will NeXTSTEP 3.3 boot off of an IDE drive, once I get the OS transferred?

I'm only qorking with black SCSI hardware and using the
- scsimodes -> disktab
- disk -i
- dump/restore
thing.
