[plug] Failure to boot from SCSI

[Justin]

With your SCSI drives you can set them to power up at different times...
 From memory the delay is either set in the SCSI bios - or by giving the 
drive a higher ID number (its been a while since i have had to investigate 
this)...

That might help your powering off problem...
