Well I have more info. I tried it again. I was always able to see both 
drives. The problem occurs then tring to copy from the IDE to the SCSI drive.

Now I get the following message:

sd0(ahc1:0:0): data overrun of 1677725 bytes detected. Forcing a retry.

and then I unable to do anything. The numlock is not frozen and if I do 
type I get the characters on the console.


Any idea ?
