If the CD drive has the "master" jumper removed (as is usual for dos)
then linux will not recognise it if it is the only drive on the second
IDE interface (ie there is no "master" drive on that interface)

You can get around this by either setting it as the master, but this
sometimes stuffs up DOS, or booting from lilo with the extra parameter
"hdd=cdrom"

Hope this helps (let me know if it works)
