SMA_SIZE should set the amount of framebuffer memory; but which are the

SiS 630 Dev 0 FN 0

Bit 7 =1 enable, =0 disable, shared memory

Bits[6:4] Size (Total Share memory size for 128 bit mode)
Shared Memory Size on DIMM0

Bit 3: reserved
Bit 2: DIMM2 installed =1, absent =0
Bit 1: DIMM1 "
Bit 0: DIMM0 "

/dev/hda -> 0
/dev/hdb -> 1
/dev/hdc -> 2
/dev/hdd -> 3

Is it correct???

Yes. Some of us boot from /dev/hdc using CF, then mount /dev/hda0 as the root device.



P.S. Is it possible to boot from a CDROM?

Not sure, probably not.
