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.
Master/slave is usually determined by jumpers on the device.
It is pretty clear the cd is at hdc, however running eject hdc(should) and
eject hdd(shouldn't) will confirm identity and the lowest level of function.
From other post, I did 'modprobe ide-cd', result;
Fatal: module ide-cd not found.
this is as it should be, if you used yes vice m in menuconfig on the item
ata/atapi/mfm/rll support under device drivers.

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.
