If it's IDE, it's likely to be referred to as /dev/hdc (if it's the primary drive on the secondary IDE controller) or /dev/hdb (slave on the primary controller). If it's SCSI, there's a similar scheme such as /dev/sdb or somesuch; as I don't have any SCSI systems I don't remember what the reference is, but someone else can probably answer, or you can find it in the installation instructions that are linked from www.debian.org.

Those kinds of drives are a nightmare to work with. last time i installed on a 486, i grabbed the I/O address of the cdrom controller from win* and passed it along to the kernel module..worked fine after that. if you dont have win* maybe you could install *dos and install the dos drivers for that cdrom and grab the i/o address from it, usually drivers show the i/o and irq settings when they load. jbp534 Kind Soul -- E-mailor landline .
