Got to post this, if anyone has this problem in future I want this on 
the public lists where they can find it.  It has taken me months to 
find out and the answer is so simple.

Thank you Juha :-)))

I rebooted using

? boot - c kernel

and then went into the interactive option where I was able to reset 
the boot parameters for the ata1 at IRQ 15 to the address given on 
the cdrom card's published figures.

Result, I can now read from the cdrom.

Next is getting sendmail to work properly.
