   As long as it is scanned normally on other occasions I can remove the
drive during the initial installation and re-connect it later, but there is
no indication that this should happen. The SCSI bus is scanned almost
immediately the boot sequence is re-started, which would seem to indicate
that the required modules are already present. This also applies to another
box which now has an external SCSI box with tape backup and SCSI drive, as
this drive should also be checked regularly.
