	I do not know if you have following the thread, but I tried to remove 
one of the hard drives and then boot from the dvd with similar results. 
Only way I could boot off the dvd was to remove both of the drives. 
Then, in my last reply, I moved the dvd to the external chain. It booted 
with both HDs but then it did not see c0t0. I wonder if it is because I 
did not terminate the chain where the optical drive used to be. This is 
the show as far as I know.
