Last time I saw this, it was due to a missing terminator on the SCSI bus, Has this machine ever worked in this configuration (i.e with this single drive)

What type (make model) is the drive ?

I'm trying to install Debian on a box with a SCSI HD. Unfortunately, I'm having a few problems... I'm having probs with the HD. I get these messages when I boot from the debian rescue floppy:

I have a few jumpers I have not set (i.e off), but could if needed. These are: MTR -RMT Start DLY: Start Delay SYN: Synchronous LED: LED

Any ideas?
