Alright - so I can now read and write on my 4000/60's SCSI drives. Everything looks good so far. However, I can't boot. Is this a known issue? Someone mentioned something about the bootblocks only knowing PIO
and the SCSI chip in the 4000/60 only knowing DMA...

I wrote a (nearly) -current bootblock onto the drive, with a (nearly) -current /boot also, and it doesn't even show me the countdown. Speaking of the countdown, that doesn't work either, even when netbooting
(but perhaps I'm using an older boot.mopformat). It just sticks at '5'. Works fine on my VS3100, but I may be getting version confusion here.

Anyway. Just wanted to know what the status was and offer my testing ability on booting this bad boy from SCSI.
