I don't know if it will help but maybe try running your third hard drive
as the seconday master and the cd as the secondary slave. That works on
my system here. I have 3 harddrives, 4G, 8G and 11G respectively.
Except for what I need to boot Linux, which resides low on my primary
master, the rest resides in various partions on my primary slave.
