Would anyone kindly explain the following question taken from the
FAQ?

> Q5: I've installed the drive as the only device on the secondary interface,
>     with the CDROM drive jumpered as SLAVE/SINGLE, and Linux won't 
>     see it. What am I missing?

What is a secondary interface? My CD drive is a Mitsumi one linked
to a SB16. I have two hard drives linked to my Promise 2300plus
IDE controller. In this case, is my CD drive on a secondary interface? 
I don't remember seeing jumpers at the back of my CD drive, are they 
really there? Most importantly, do I need to touch the settings of
the CD drive in order to install Linux?
