I'm losing track a little myself. It's been two solid days of trying everything and anything. I know I did try to slave the drive off the cdrom and I think the Mac just refused to boot. I tried using a 40-pin IDE cable too but it made no difference either. I'm pretty much lost at this stage.
Not sure if I tried this already, but I'll try connecting the hard disk to the slower ATA channel and the cdrom to the faster. See if that takes care of things. Then I have to see if OSXS will install on that config.
I think I did try it already but didn't leave it long enough. The cdrom will eventually boot if attached to the faster channel but it takes a long time (2 mins 13 seconds from chime to happy mac). It seems to boot at ok speed after that so I guess it must be waiting for something to time-out. The Seagate is on the slow controller with the jumper set to CS. I'll see what happens when I try to install.
