fwiw, i got this too on my indy when i added a Quantum Empire 1GB. >From cold boot the PROM doesn't recognise the second disk, but IRIX does (PROM gives me the exact same error message as the one you wrote above - but prints it twice). If i halt back to PROM then the PROM does see the second disk. (and only prints that error message once) my theories are: 1. PROM controller driver is minimal and doesn't init the controller/disks properly whereas the IRIX driver does. 2. disk spin up times.. ?? 3. Perhaps cause the outboard SCSI port is not terminated.
