You need to tell the kernel the is a 3rd and 4th ide controller, because
the ide patches were not applyed they were causeing problems with cdrom
drives.
at the boot prompt enter
linux ide2=0xd800
or
linux ide2=0xa800
(sorry i thought these were generaly the same, but i've done some checking
looking for what i thought was the address for a chip other than the
HPT366, but it was the same card with several different addresses :/ )
