Could be that it expects to find !Boot on a drive connected to the 
motherboard port rather than via Unipod.  Or maybe it's a CMOS setting 
you need to tweak.  Maybe   *configure drive X   where X is the 
relevant number for the Unipodded drive.  Someone nolijabler than I 
will be along shortly.

(By the way, please don't "reply" to a previous message in the 
newsgroup when you actually want to start a new thread.  Your "reply" 
carries a lengthy header, which I guess you wouldn't see, full of past 
references and ends up buried in an irrelevant thread.)
