During the boot sequence the operating system tells me that it cannot
detect the CDROM.

from reading some of the news itms on this NG, I suspect I will have to
give a command in the boot up sequence by re-configuring LILO.

My CDROM is "slaved" to my Hard disk (I think it is refferd to as 
/dev/hdb) and is a Creative CD420E.

When I next boot up Linux I will note, in more detail, which
version of linux I am Running (installed from CD1 in the book
'Using Linux' 2nd Ed by Tacket and Gunter) and what error messages.

if email reply

TIA (muchly)
