Two things that are probably farther down the road than you're getting:
A DEC 3W-BNC video cable is wired opposite IBM's - if it's DEC or DEC

Second, when you get the OS to boot, it's likely to stop at LED code
581 for a very long time. It's looking for a nameserver. That'll
eventually time out, but it takes long enough that folks often thing
it's hung.
If you can tell us what the code is where it stops, that would go a
long way toward finding your problem.

Can anyone advise what to try, or a list of what
the LED numbers
mean? Should for example the external SCSI connector have a
terminator?
See the above. I've been able to get just about every RS/6000 I've
obtained working. IBM Hardware and Software produces lots (perhaps
way too much) debugging information ;-)
