Actually it doesn't sound bizarre. :) For example, sometimes people
complain on other Mac lists that their sound is gone and yet their sound
control panel says it's all the way up. Advice it to change it to 0, close
the panel, re-open it and change it back to make it stick, so this seems
natural to try (but I digress:)...
Anyway, to answer your question, no it doesn't default to the right address
so I have to tell it to go to SCSI id 1 (from 0), but I'm realizing now
after having messed with the mini-shell a bit that the file system seems ok
and that it's just a problem with the installer... Anyway, this is all
irrelevant now 'cause I tried it with 32-bit addressing off and that fixed
it (sort of).
Cheers,
