Both :(

You only need wd0, so you can just leave wd0 and wd1 (in
case you get another disk later) in your kernel.  The
problem is probably that the wd[23] entries use up the
ide slots in the kernel, leaving no room for the cd -
a bug IMHO.

Are you running it as root and with ServerType set to inetd in
httpd.conf ?
