found this and was reminded that i do not know the cd in question is master
on the second ide controller

Your first task is to determine the device name. Refer to the chart below:
IDE Port Master/slave Device
1 master /dev/hda
1 slave /dev/hdb
2 master /dev/hdc
As I understand it, Master is the device on the end of the cable. My HD
is on the end of one cable and is working fine as hda. My cdrom is at
the end of the other cable, and works fine while booting from the cd. I
beleive that my mother board only has 2 IDE ports and if I want more
drives it will be on sata.
From other post, I did 'modprobe ide-cd', result;
Fatal: module ide-cd not found.

That's what I was wondering as well, but I thought /surely/ it had been
covered already, and I must have missed it. Glad to see it specifically
covered here, however, just in case.
