[NTLUG:Discuss] No SCSI boot device found

[m m]

ah! the machine was in operating.

I have tried to replace the hard drive, got the same error message.

tried to  Press <Ctrl><A> to run SCSI Select(TM) Utility, the utility did 
not detect any hard drives. (have 3 installed). but I do see the scsi host 
adapter  AHA-2940AU on scsi id #7. not sure what does it mean.

thanks
