We just performed an IDE CD-ROM installation and had similar problems to
start with. You should check to see what the IDE Master/Slave jumper is
set at. Our didn't work with the CD-ROM set at Master, instead it had a
jumper called "cable select" which we used. After that was set properly
it worked like a charm.
One problem though, even when I used the ATAPI.FLP image to boot from
(which DID recognize the CD-ROM drive) after the install the system would
not recognize the CD-ROM drive. Apparently you have to re-compile the
kernel for your system with the support for it. Oh well, at least I
could use it for the install. :-)
