There is often a jumper on at least some hard drives that will control
spinup at power on and some other things at power on, make sure they are
all set "correctly".  This was an issue for me when I installed a Seagate
(sun branded) drive into a Quadra 650.

Solaris might send SCSI commands to the drives to spin up while MacOS
assumes the drive is already running when it tries to boot from it.
