On my AlphaStation 4/166 I am unable to see (and therefore, use) any SCSI
Device without a DEC-branded firmware in the SRM. I have several of the
exact same HDs here, some with a DEC firmware, some with a HP, it will only
detect the DECs.

As soon as the machine has booted there is no problem though because then
the OS has taken over, but in the SRM it's DEC-only.
