It won't be on the SCSI bus, ever. The internal disk on the PB150 (and the
Quadra/Performa 63x family) is an IDE drive. Until someone attempts an IDE
driver for MacBSD, you're stuck using an external drive. Fortunately, Apple
has kept the SCSI bus around, but only for external devices. (on the 150;
the 63x machines use SCSI CD-ROMs)
