I have a SCSI and a EIDE CD-ROM. I don't know

That's probably a PNP drive which needs to be initialized by special magic.
Unfortunately, linux is quite stuck with these, and you have to live with
LOADLIN.
However, there's something called pnptools (I don't exactly remeber the name)
which might be of some help.
