I've been doing some work with my IIgs recently. It had been working well as I went through the rpocess of getting it to network boot off of a Mac II running Appleshare File Server 2. No issues.
I went to run Mousepaint on it today so I flipped the slot configuration in the boot-time control panel to boot from the smart port first. When it rebooted, it wouldn't even check the floppy. No access. It instantly went to "Check Startup Device". The floppy is getting power as it will eject disks with no issues. I tried different drives, checked the drives on my brother's IIgs, tried it daisy chained and single. Nothing changed it. There is simply no attempt at starting the disk read on the drive at boot and it's not recognized when I network boot.
Any ideas?
