Strange. I have a 3/80 with two Sun424's in (actually Seagate 1480N's).
Both are set to 'motor-on-spin-up on command'. It boots from the first and
there's a pause in the disk probing while the second spins up. I haven't
tried netbooting it though (I originally installed onto a pair of Quantums
but swapped those out after I upgraded from 1.3.3).
