That is incorrect. Both ends of the SCSI bus should be terminated.
In this MFIO example one end of the bus heads out the port on the
back of the MFIO card and the other end of the bus is used for the
918's internal devices. The last device on the internal ribbon cable
is one end of the bus. Typically ldev 1 lives there and has its
internal terminator enabled. Expect system problems by not having the
boot channel properly terminated on BOTH ends.
