Have you tried that second HD as the master on the CD bus by itself? And then see if it's bootable? Also I had the same problem that the slaved HD wouldn't show up on either Drive Setup or System Profiler at all. That was when I tried to connect the stock 6 GB Quantum in my B&W G3 Rev1 as a slave to the master DiamondMax Plus 30 gig. It only worked the other way around. Now that I have a 40 gig Maxtor (30 gig died) which is actually a Quantum I can use the 6 gig as a slave and the 40 gig as the master. Those problems are related to the fact that my Mac officially doesn't support slave drives (I have a Rev1 B&W). That seems to be the same problem with yours too, but for OS X it doesn't matter anymore, because master-slave combos do work, even if your Mac doesn't support it.
