This probably isn't the best place to address my problem, but
thanks for the reply.  I'm not a BIOS expert but I believe I
did try to tell the BIOS that nothing is there (except the one
CDROM).  I believe the CDROM is the master on the IDE chain it
is living on.  I had thought it was a kernel/driver issue and
not a BIOS issue, but I am not an expert of either, sigh...  :-(
