I understand that with Debian (maybe with all distros) the primary HD and
the CD-ROM must be on the same IDE controller channel, meaning the primary.
If the distribution "finds" the CD-ROM and the HD you intend to install
Linux on is on the other channel, it won't automatically look on that other
channel. The reverse may also be true: With the distribution on a HD on
the primary channel and the CD-ROM on the secondary.
Someone with more knowledge of hardware may wish to comment on this.
