This may be your problem: the 3.5" drive needs to be attached to the GS first, then if you have it a second 3.5", then add the two 5.25" drives.  If you want to boot from the 3.5" drive, you put the floppy in the first drive attached to the cpu and for extra surety put the startup slot on the control panel to 5.  If you want to boot from the 5.25" put the startup slot as 6.  Doesn't matter that both types of drives are daisy chained.  The order of the chain is critical.
