I have a similar problem on my /240 -- I have four drives hooked to it,
(1 x RZ57, 3 x MICROP 1924,) and at cold boot, the SCSI probe routines
spin all the drives up, but only one of the Micropolis drives is
recognized.  Once the drives are all spun up, they're all detected on
reboot... I always figured it was because I was running and old (1.4)
kernel, but maybe there are still some timing issues.

you might want to see if the "reboot twice" trick works.
