Hi Eric,

this sounds like you have a problem with termination. You have to set
(jumper) the termination on the internal drive. Your external drive has
termination enabled, so when that one runs, you can boot, when it is
off, the Mac doesn't see the disks.

Other then that another "might be problem" is that you need the right
version of the "Mode32" control panel. I had a few problems with the one
that goes for 7.1 (I do not remember what problems exactly), but in the
end I upgraded to 7.5.3 and then 7.5.5 and used the Mode32 for that. Of
course 7.1 is smaller and faster, but since you want to boot into
OpenBSD anyway, it shouldn't make that much of a difference.

Sascha
