Does not detect the connected IDE disk on B&W #34

I can't understand what's going on.

I Have Power Macintosh G3 B&W Rev. B, the boot environment does not detect the connected IDE disk. I tried IDE drives, as well as an SSD connected via a SATA-IDE bridge. In OS9, the disk is displayed and works fine, but here it simply does not display it. Is there any option for diagnosis? Can a DVD drive from another Mac model prevent the HDD from being detected?

I also noticed that The adaptec Ava-2906 SCSI card may cause boot problems, for example, the ADB keyboard may not work. The Cisco Air-PCI350 Wi-Fi card prevents the graphics from booting -- just a black screen. If there are no disks, select, for example, "Repartition disk for NT installation" and press the up arrow, "Select a disk" is replaced with "Selehd-1: (0MB) - "

the PCI IDE controller used normally for the HD is not supported yet, you need to use the other controller (the one used for optical drive and zip disk)

Oh, that's right. I was not attentive when reading the description.
