Thanks Keropi, I'll give that a try this evening.
However, now, even though I've done nothing to the A3000, it seems that intermittently, it doesn't want to boot at all, just sitting on the white screen (it's Kickstart 2.0 in this A3000)
 
It makes no difference whether you use Setbatt or SCSIprefs. You still have only one choice between short or long SCSI timeout. Setting prefs to short timeout and to disable LUN will give you the fastest SCSI bus scan. The only way to avoid scanning all 7 SCSI address' is to have a SCSI drive with LASTDRIVE flag set on the RDB. The drive can be non-bootable if you want to boot from another HD controller. Of course, you could make custom A3000 ROM's w/o scsi.device if you can't stand to wait for a SCSI bus timeout.
