Subject: The Yellow Dog Won't Fetch My HD

Hello All, thanks for taking the time to read this:
Machine Specs:
-Beige G3 333 MHz, 128 MB RAM, 9.1 GB UW SCSI HD (int), yadda yadda
External SCSI Device
-Seagate Barracuda 2 GB HD, SCSI ID 4
When running the Yellow Dog Champion Server 1.1 installer I never get
the SCSI Configuration window despite the fact that I have 2 SCSI
buses.
According to SCSI Probe 5.1.1:
***********************************
* *
* BUS 0 MESH: 2 Devices *
* ----------------- *
* ID TYPE *
* ----------------- *
* 7 CPU *
* 4 Seagate HD *
* *
* *
* BUS 1 SYM53c875: 2 Devices *
* ----------------- *
* ID TYPE *
* ----------------- *
* 7 CPU *
* 0 IBM HD *
* *
***********************************
The installer simply skips past the screen that allows me to select which
device I want to format.
I want to install YD on the Seagate HD, but instead of offering that as
an option, the only HD that the installer/fdisk/pdisk will recognize is
the internal IBM HD (HFS+). This tells me that the installer is only
access Bus #1.
Any hints on getting past this? I'm not going to partition the internal
drive so that isn't an option.
Any ideas why the installer is only seeing BUS #1 and not both busses?
The HD is terminated and is connected directly to the Mac.
Anyway... any further advice is appreciated. Thanks for your time and
energy.
--Under MacOS 8.5.1 TechTool Pro 2.5.1 lists the external drive as such:
FWB 2GB (HFS) Seagate ST12550N SCSI Bus 0 ID 4 Direct Access Device
