ProDOS won't boot: SCSI card w/o hard drive

["Scott M. Blackman" <blackmsm@ctrvax.vanderbilt.edu>]

I have recently taken my 40meg hard drive over to my Mac (listen to 
the booing) and left my IIgs and its High-Speed SCSI card with no
drives.  GS/OS 6.0.1 boots fine, but ProDOS 8 freezes during while it
searches for devices.  This is a problem for all ProDOS versions I 
tested, and removing the SCSI card fixes the problem.  (I am not a 
patient person when it comes to coputers, and I admit I don't wait more 
than about 5 minutes to see if it ever unfreezes.)

     I would like to leave the card in my computer for now, because I 
have found the Mac drive partitioning software next to useless.  I have 
to partition my HD on the IIgs, although hopefully I won't do it more 
than once or twicec more.  For now I will take the card out of my 
computer until I need it again.

     However I am still curious if anyone has run into this problem, and 
whether it needs fixing (I could try to track it down).
