I'd like to add to this that the handbook is riddled full of  
undocumented terms, like BIOS Drive #.  How do you determine this for  
a SCSI drive?

And what is the difference between the drive number and the unit  
number anyway?

That entire section is actually impossible to decipher except for the  
single drive IDE disk scenario which is documented there.
