[ydl-gen] B&W and drive not recognised!

[Dene Stringfellow]

I wonder if anyone else has come across this problem. I am aiming to 
install YDL 4.1 on a B&W G3 but have come across an initial hardware 
recognition issue on a setup I'm sure I've seen working somewhere else 
before.

I have a B&W G3 400MHz PowerMac that I want to use a 36Gb IBM UltraStar 
hard drive with using an Advansys 3940U2W SCSI card. I used the latest 
Advansys Flash Utility v.1.56 and flashed the SCSI card with the 
38C0800_9_boot.bin Mac OS9 boot BIOS successfully on a PowerMac 8600 
under OS9.22 and am able to mount, format and boot from the drive 
without any problem on that computer.

(I already have another B&W G3 running YDL 5.01 using an Adaptec 
PowerDomain SCSI card with an 18Gb IBM DGHS and a 36Gb IBM UltraStar 
hard drive without any problems).

However, when I transfer the drive, SCSI card and ribbon cable to the 
B&W G3 and boot the machine I can see the SCSI card using the Apple 
System Profiler but no drive on the end of it - that's booting from an 
Apple MacOS 9.2.1 installer CD! I attached an external firewire drive 
and ran FWB's Hard Disk Toolkit v.4.52 and was slightly more successful 
in that it was able to see the hard drive attched to the SCSI card but 
was not able to mount or format the drive as those options are greyed out!

I have tried flashing card by running the tools from the external 
Firewire drive having booted the machine using the Apple MacOS 9.2.1 
installer CD, and I have also booted into Open Firmware and reset the 
hardware configuration, to no available!

Clearly I am missing something and would be grateful if someone could 
point out to me where I am going wrong.

Thanks in advance.
