Re: Can't get X installed

[joseph ballo]

It certainly  is difficult. But after much to-ing and fro-ing I managed 
to get OSX installed on an 18 Gig scsi drive with ID=0 and the data [my 
8500 functions as a web/mail/print/file server] on a similar drive with 
id=1. The scsi cd-rom remains at 3 and an initio card has a striped 
raid with id=0 mastering a pair of 4Gig scsi drives. No IDE here!!! but 
I must confess it's rather a matter of stubbornness and pride rather 
than common sense. Runs 10.2.8.

Any thoughts?
X is a much more picky about termination than OS9. I'd recommend 
double and even triple checking the termination. Maybe playing around 
with different set-ups. I have a 8600 and in order to get my SCSI 
drives to show up under X, I eventually had to reinstall the original 
HD and use that as one end of the chain. I don't think I ever did get 
X to install on a SCSI drive (I have an ATA card) although I think 
other people have.
