I did what you suggested, trag, and booted with the original HD and the 600i on the external connector. And it worked! In fact, it booted from the CD automatically.
So... it turns out that the problem somehow is my target drive. When it is connected, the IIci suddenly can't see the CD anymore. I don't know if the drive is no longer viable, or if I haven't set it up right yet. It's got *14 pairs of jumpers* for SCSI configuration, so this could take all night to figure out. I think I had it installed in an 8100 last, and it worked fine
If anybody can tell me what the boot drive needs to be, with regards to ID, parity, termination, etc could save me a lot of time!
But thanks for the help, folks! At least I know now that the problem is not the CD-ROM itself, which provides some direction to my troubleshooting.
