Well, I'm the other way round - RISCBSD on IDE and unused SCSI.

I had to kludge the bootstrap program to stop it doing a 'Shutdown all Filing
Systems' which upset my Morley/IBM SCSI drives because they either hung on
spindown (due to a 'feature' with multi-partition SCSI discs) or refused to
spin-up afterwards (for reasons unknown).  I suspect that there are potential
pitfalls to this, but unfortunately "Shutdown" in RISC-OS appears to just plain
not work with multiple partitions (I had to do something similar to the RISC-OS
shutdown routine).
