ATAPI hardware varies a lot, it may be that you two have bogus hardware. :( You might try moving the CDROM between the controllers and positions (slave on 1st, single or master on 2nd) Make sure you are using the ATAPI.FLP for the boot floppy image. (It sounds like you are) Also check that the IRQ and base address for the second IDE controller (wdc1) match up to your system's configuration.
