I've tried permutations of auto-detecting the cdrom through the IDE setup (which doesn't affect anything) and adjusting the IDE-wait on boot. For some reason, the only time it detects /dev/hdc is when the boot order is CDROM first (like it was when I did the setup). It works but I find it kinda weird. Hardware is a Celeron 366->567 and an Abit BX2.0.
