You shouldn't be able to get to the third disk with Booteasy, since (AFAIK)
it's impossible to boot off the third disk.

I don't know about _adding_ a third disk, but I can report that it works
correctly on a system installed with four SCSI disk (with a Buslogic VL
controller).  This is under 2.0.5-RELEASE.
