Ok so as it stands, I have jumpers on slots 1, 3, and M on the hard drive. When I have the Syquest or the terminator at the end of a scsi cable, the hard disk boots. I have tried a few other jumper settings without the scsi cable attached and it still doesn't want to boot all on it's own.

I didn't get what you mean by make the picture of the underside of the drive, take a photo of it?
