	'probe-scsi' will only work with hard drives that have Sun-specific 
firmware. When I've tried it with other drives, the result is usually a 
bizarre error message of some sort. However, the disk itself is actually 
perfectly usable.

	Also, keep in mind that a SPARCstation expects its primary boot drive to 
be set for SCSI ID 3. Make sure you've set yours accordingly.

	Good hunting.
