[G4] Hard Drive issues

[Mel Krewall]

Make sure that the Master and Slave jumpers are set correctly. This can 
cause problems with the stability of a system. The original boot drive 
should be Master and the new drive the Slave. The drives should have 
diagrams on top to show you how to position the jumpers.
