You may well have to check the ID numbers, and do some switching around, IF these devices are all SCSI. I would remove all but the hd and CD when I want to boot from the CD. That can be impractical if you want to do it often. So then I go back to sentence one. Jeff --- The Only Constant Is Change -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
