The SCSI ID of 0 (usually indicated by a switch or jumpers on the
hardware) should be reserved for the bootable drive.  Set the Seagate as
SCSI ID 0 and choose unique numbers for the other two devices.  It's
probably best to make the CD-ROM have a higher number than the jaz drive,
but I'm not sure it matters at all.

Try booting by changing to "sd(1,a)kernel" (or whatever the appropriate
syntax is).  I think this means the second hard drive (the "1") and the
first partition (the "a").  This is assuming that the Seagate and the jaz
drive both have one large partition to support their respective OSes.
Otherwise, change that partition appropriately.
