Boot fail with LED 551

After adding an external SCSI controller, cartridge tape, and
600m disk, then doing the 3003 update, my system is not happy.
It fails to boot with '551' on the LED. I got some hints from
my SE about why this is happening, but unfortunately the last
resort - rebuilding the system - is not an option, because the
thing won't even boot from tape.

I am about to start loading diagnostics from floppy, but I thought
that by the time that happens, somebody else might be able to
give me more clues. Please.
