I had this trouble before. You might want to check the website of the
hard drive manufacturer to make sure that you have all of the jumpers
right.

I was curious about this, too. I want to put debian on the internal
scsi drive of my PM 7500, and Net BSD on a larger external SCSI drive.
I am going to try it later this week, as soon as I find out whther the
external drive is any good,or if I fried it in another experiment.
