fwiw, i got this too on my indy when i added a Quantum Empire 1GB.

does (PROM gives me the exact same error message as the one you wrote
above - but prints it twice). If i halt back to PROM then the PROM
does see the second disk. (and only prints that error message once)
my theories are:
1. PROM controller driver is minimal and doesn't init the
controller/disks properly whereas the IRIX driver does.
2. disk spin up times.. ??
3. Perhaps cause the outboard SCSI port is not terminated. (least not
on my indy)
