Adding 

option ATAPI_STATIC

and rebuilding the kernel finally fixed the problem the system had finding
my Sony CDU55e ATAPI cdrom, which is configured as the master on the
second ide controller. I missed seeing this option in the archives on my
first exploration there. For those of you humble souls who also have
problems with an atapi cdrom, you might try adding this option before you
start moving things around and setting jumpers. 

The only strange symptom about this setup is that the hard drive light
stays on all the time now. I've seen suggestions that this isn't 
anything to worry about. Everything seems to work great.
