Hardware: Dead 3000/900? T_ERR_SCSI on boot

No luck searching the archives on this one.

We've got a 3000/900 which failed to re-boot yesterday. The machine
successfully completes the *INIT* checks, and then halts with the
following on the console:

AUDIT BOOT STARTS
T_ERR_SCSI - DEVICE_NOT_PRESENT
        84 FAIL
>>>

But TEST SCSI returns an OKAY.

Okay, I'm perplexed. How do I narrow down the range of the problem?
Any suggestions? Is this as simple as a bad disk?

The machine is ( uh ... was ) actually a VMS box, but I've gotten no
responses from VMS-L, and thought that since this is a hardware issue, I
might find some useful information here.

TIA. Will summarize.
