To my knowledge, the D box only supports RAID solutions as an external SCSI
drive configuration.
The System Administration Guide (B0193ND, Rev J) makes note of the external
SCSI drives will be supported in future releases. Since the guide was
provided with the 6.3 base level software it is probably not supported until
now.
We tried your setup in the lab today with similar results: boot starts ok
but after a short while "panic and reboot". There is a way to get it working
but that is not supported. Configuration will be lost with new installs.
The B0400PT document is ...ahum... a bit confusing (?)

Subject: 51D's & external hard disks
G'day list,
Has anyone had any success in using 51D's with 4.2Gb external SCSI system
disks? Rumour has it, it's supposed to be possible - according to B0400PT
anyway.
I've Day Zeroed it, but I can't get it to boot. And yes, I have changed the
"altdisk" (originally "raid") device label. It starts going through the
boot process from the external hard disk, but continually panic dumps.
Cheers,
Nic
