Dunno about a slave connection. Both my CDRW and HD are set up as masters. BUT........... my CDRW is not bootable in this configuration, but (I'm about 99% sure) neither is my HD. I haven't bothered putting an OS on the HD although I think I tried it once when I first got the HD. Pretty sure this non-booting is a feature of the PCI card I have. This is not a problem for me as I have always been able to boot off my orig TEAC 16x CD-ROM (SCSI) using Apple's CD-ROM 5.3.1 driver (even though my OS is 9.1). Regards........
