What type of machine is this? I know some of the earlier AT types needed the hard drive specified in the CMOS setup. Later BIOSs have the option to specify the drive or automatically detect the drive. So you might want to look at those areas. Linux might take over those functions for itself instead of depending on the BIOS.
