Emax

The problem below has probably been posted here before, but the 
search engine on the yahoo groups seems not to scan older messages 
anymore, so I thought I'm "allowed" give it another try:

I just connected a hard disk to my Emax Plus Rack. Except for the 
floppy drive, no other hard drive is connected to the Emax. The SCSI 
ID of the HD is set to 0.
The problem is: the Emax only wants to boot from the floppy. Once 
this is done, it recognizes the HD on SCSI ID O and I can load/unload 
banks from it. The HD also contains the Plus operating system: it has 
been formatted by the Emax and I performed an additional "copy 
software" just to be sure...

Now I read about this "cheat" of the floppy connector on the 
motherboard (jumper between pins 25 and 26).
But that's mainly used for replacing the floppy drive by an internal 
ZIP drive and making sure that the Emax still thinks a floppy drive 
is connected. That's not what I want.

Bottom line: I don't understand this boot issue with the Emax. In the 
original documentation of Emu, it seemed perfectly possible to have 
an Emax with both an internal HD and a floppy drive. When booting, 
the Emax should first check the floppy drive; if no floppy disk is 
found, the Emax should boot from the HD on SCSI ID 0.
It doesn't do that on mine, it doesn't even check the SCSI chain, it 
immediately asks to insert a disk.

So what do you think I'm doing wrong ?
