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.
