I need to see:
- the paride messages from your bootlog. Most systems log
the bootup messages in /var/log/dmesg or something similar
- the first few error messages when things start to go wrong
This may be difficult if the SyQuest disk is your root.
In the absence of sufficient data, some speculative causes might be:
A bad partition table, with overlapping partitions (unlikely I think),
a bad cartridge, a bad cable, a misconfigured parallel port, or too low
a "delay" setting for your port.
