Hello, I tried right now. 4beofre I tried to boot partition-zero)

What happens is still strange.
From the internal, orignal apple cdrom, it hangs.
From the external one, I get:
"bad partition number, using 0"
and then the usual DEFAULT CATCH.

The computer works flawlessy under macos and linux....

this shows my external cd-rom perfectly

looking for scsi-int recognizes two disksn but hangs on the internal
cdrom...

thanks, but basically it states the things you wrote in ths mail, since
the RAID card and so are not related to my 9500.
