This line is the kernel message identifying the optical
drive of your iMac, which is connected to the 1st ATA
controller as slave drive (and I assume the master drive
will be the hard disk, watch for "ad0" message).

I'm not sure, I sadly don't own iHardware. Maybe check
cables of optical drive?

At least the kernel boots - that's good for the beginning. :-)
