I just did (both ways hdc=ide-cd and hdc=ide-cdrom) and there's no difference. 
Interesting thing though, now I get a red "failed" at the devfs mounting 
local filesystems "no medium found" warning. Floppy drive tries to run at 
boot now too. I have no access to any removable media now at all. The floppy 
may have been part of it previously. Yep, I just checked the copy of mtab I 
saved and what's at /etc/mtab now, the same exactly.

<sigh>  What to look for now?
