What SCSI ID is this HD? Remember that the GS tries to boot off the
highest ID'd device. Since your Zip can be at ID 5 or 6, I'd recommend
setting your HD to 6 and the Zip at 5, unless you want to boot off
that Zip, in which case you'd want to flip the IDs. [SCSI ID 7 is
usually selectable, but you'll get a LOT of phantom drives and other
assorted mayhem if you use that on Apple IIs]
