Hi again.
Thanks for reply Chris,
get ready for really weird stuff everyone:
removed J2 (the one that controls disk termination and
that sort of stuff now it's acting as: DISABLE SCSI
TERMINATOR)

just wanna check show-children if firmware can see the
drive at all
Open Firmware, 1.0.5
To continue booting the MacOS type:
BYE<return>
To continue booting from the default boot device type:
BOOT<return>
 ok
0 > dev scsi-int  ok
0 > show-children
DEFAULT CATCH!, code=FFF00300
 ok

power off..power on

So it's 2 weird thing over here... 
 1) if I do show-children without listing contents of
cd I'm getting DEFAULT CATCH!, code=FFF00300
 2) When I do list contents of cd and do show-children
again I come up with 3 target drives and only one is
present...
 3) do show-children again and end up with 7!
 4) neither cd drive which's contents I've just
checked neither seagate drive comes up... 

 weird... well weird.. I guess that's one of theese
things... (:
