I didn't have problem of installing AC (but it was my internal iso set) on the second disk, with first disk having OpenVMS installed. I would check a boot log to see were the partitions of the second disk recognized at boot time. It should happen right after the scsi driver is loaded. Do you have access at shell prompt at this time? If you have - would you run fdisk in it and see if it can find anything unusual with your partition table.
