Hi,

I've a DS5000/133 at home that had a dead Fujitsu 1GB hard drive in it. 
I searched through my spare disks and replaced the dead one with a IBM 
DSAS-3540 (520MB). Now this IBM HD is not seen at all by the PROM... It 
just shows me the external RZ55 (rz1) and the internal RX23 (rz5). As 
soon as the NetBSD kernel boots it detects the IBM just fine and I can 
use the internal disk. Since the RZ55 is big, slow and noisy I would 
love to use just the internal disk. The only difference in setup (or 
behaviour) between the RZ55 and the DSAS-3540 is that the RZ55 needs to 
be sent a "start unit" command to spin up the platters. Do I need to set 
the IBM to not spin-up on power-on ? Or are there some "dirty hacks" in 
the PROM that allow only certain types of HDs to be booted from ? The 
(now dead) Fujitsu identified itself as a "Fujitsu M2946", IIRC. So I 
assume that PROM is not entirely "blind folded" wrt to manufacturers 
other that DEC, right ?

I appreciate any hints on how to get this dang machine boot from the 
internal HD. I have a (currently) useless pair of RZ23 (100MB drives) in
my VS3100, but 100MB is a bit to tight to be useful ;)

MTIA,
Marc
