 cd0 is your CDROM drive.   Try using a different CD for starters ... (a  
2nd copy) ... if that doesn't work, it might  be a bad CDROM drive.   HTH,

So...

Your original configuration was hard drive as Primary Master, and CD
as Secondary Master. Are you using 80-conductor cables?

40 conductor:

The 40 conductor ribbons sometimes throw up problems in strange times
and places, an effect I observed when installing FreeBSD on my Xbox.

Also, the 80-conductor cables often support CS jumper settings; try
setting both jumpers to cable select, and plug the 80-conductor cable
in with the labelled ends into the correct drives.
