Some of the old 9xx boxes don't support booting from SCSI, which rules
out using a SCSI disk as LDEV 1, or a SCSI tape drive to boot tape media
from. I do not recall if the 92x series suffer from this limitation, but
they *are* on the older end of the spectrum (hehe)...a 927/928 is capable
of booting from SCSI, but I don't know if a 922 or 925 are.

You may not be able to do this, in other words.
