Re: Help with IIgs disk volume problem

[smcgroga@pippin.Advent.COM (Stephen McGrogan)]

Nathan, thanks for responding.  I just checked the SCSI ID and it
is six!  The only other items on the SCSI chain are the Apple High-Speed
SCSI card and a CDROM drive.  The problem occurs with or without the CDROM.
By the way, I had checked your FAQ before I asked the question but couldn't
find anything germain.

Is it possible that when David (my son) copied the partition from
the 6-partition over to the 1-partition disk that, if he had changed
the ID on the new disk to 7 then (to avoid conflicts) that this could
have caused this problem?

I remember that he said something about changing the SCSI Id at that
time to avoid a conflict.

Where is this volume table kept?  Can I patch it somehow?
