I may be able to help a bit - I have just setup three E4500 + D1000 + A5200 systems in my shop. The exact commands to move forward are going to very much depend on exactly how you have them cabled up.

In my case, each E4500 has dual GBICs for the A5200 and dual SCSI controllers for the D1000 like this:

E4500
GBIC 1 --> A5200 controller 1, port 2
GBIC 2 --> A5200 controller 2, port 1
SCSI 1 --> D1000 controller 1, port 1 terminator on port 2
SCSI 2 --> D1000 controller 2, port 1 terminator on port 2

I have my A5200 configured in "split-loop" mode so that the drives are in two "banks". There are lots of other configurations for this, but this one works for me to maximize throughput.

You can see how it looks when you get to the BOOTPROM like this:

> probe-scsi-all
(should show three scsi controllers - the one on the IO card, and the two sbus ones, the first with just the internal CDROM, the second and third each with half of the drives in your D1000 - which end up numbered 0 - 5 to the left and 8 - 13 on the right if you have the dip switches in the default positions).

> probe-fcal-all
(should show the two GBIC interfaces, and under each one half of the drives you have installed - front side and back side).

I have setup a Jumpstart server on my network and use it to install these guys from a flash archive I made from one of them that I setup first. Works great.
