(i usually read the screen twice because of this.) it looks to me that the boot manager did not get installed on the third disk. (the second scsi disk) you can test this by changing the setup to no ide disks opening the computer, removing the ide cable from the ide drive removing the scsi cable from the first scsi drive and reboot. if the boot manager does not show its prompt, it is not installed. > Isn't there a way to modify the bootmgr without going through the > install?
