What kind of disk is it? Some Seagate SCSI disks (usually the 9GB and
18GB models) had a bug in their firmware that caused this kind of
problem. I've got three of them and, luckily, never needed to boot from
them (any partition starting at the very first sector of the disk
disappeared on reboot, but if you started on the third sector, it was
fine).
I'll see if I can dig up a link on it...
