Kent,
to make the workstation's IDE drives appear in /dev, you need to install
the IDE kernel modules (they aren't built into the kernel because they
aren't used much).  There was a discussion about this under "local swap"
many months ago; you might find it in the list archives.

Try booting to runlevel 3 and running this series of commands:
# lsmod
# modprobe ide-disk
# lsmod

Comparing the output from the two "lsmod" runs will show you what
modprobe loaded.  Once the proper modules are loaded, your local drives
will appear in /dev.
