Before I get too swamped with replies I want to summarize
this. I found that when we powered down & unplugged the
external drive our probe-scsi command worked fine. I
guess we have a bad external drive...

Here's the original post:

I received responses from:

From: Darren Dunham
From: Dan Robb
From: Dan Sweet
From: Stuart, Reggie

Everybody suggested I do the following:

OK> setenv auto-boot? false
OK> reset
[wait...]
OK> probe-scsi

[data]
OK> setenv auto-boot? true
OK> (reset or boot)

I did the reset as suggested and found that
it made no difference. Progress came when we
removed the external drive.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions & the quick
feedback!!!

Marty
