SYMPTOMS
If you have a SCSI CD-ROM drive and a removable cartridge drive on the
same SCSI bus, the drive letters for these devices may change when you
restart the computer.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the computer is started without a cartridge in
the removable cartridge drive, or if the cartridge is not partitioned.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, restart the computer with a partitioned cartridge
in the removable cartridge drive.
MORE INFORMATION
SCSI devices that are available in real mode are enumerated first and
given the first available drive letters. Protected-mode SCSI devices are
enumerated next.
