With IDE/ATA, it is vital that: - You use the correct cable, 40 or 80 pins - You place the devices in the right order on the cable. 80 pin cables will usually have color coding. Usually blue goes on the motherboard. - Jumper the options correctly on the devices. Master/slave on 40 pin cables, cable select preferred on 80 pin cables.
For the console ... You will need to set your output-device and input-device via setenv to switch the console to serial.
