Actually if you select Panasonic/Soundblaster option... I believe this is
for the older SB pro and Sb16 with PROPIETRY interface CDROM drives...
not the IDE types.... as I have both IDE Creative Labs IDE/ATAPI CDROM drive
and an old 2x Propiety interface drive plugged though to my sound card...

I think you should choose the menu option IDE/ATAPI, and select either
/dev/hdc or /dev/hdd (assuming you sould card IDE controller is setup
as a secondary IDE controller.... ie: IRQ 15).... also check that your
CDROM drive... look on the back of it physically is set on master ie:
using jumpers...a lot of PnP IDE/ATAPI CDROM drives... can appear to be
master and slave to the bios.... making it really confused... so setting
jumpers on the back on the CDROM drive... will also ensure you have a better
chance of it working... ie: before I set the jumper on my IDE CDROM drive...
it worked fine under dos/win... and Linux could not detect until I put a
physical jumper on it...

SO to clean up this spam...

Put a jumper on the back of your cdrom drive setting it to master only...
If CDROM drive is going though 2nd IDE interface on SoundCard... with CDROM
jumper set to master.... Linux should be able to find cdrom drive on...
lilo: linux cdrom=/dev/hdc
Which is master on second device... I hope you try this before you go buying
more hardware...

Cheers
Feel free to email me if you have any questions of setting this up...
