The CDRom works, the Maxtor 2.1g drive works, but now I get the above messages - looks like the boot is expecting something in the slave position of the 1st controller (/dev/hdb) which *used* to be my CDRom. Maybe there is some unusual (for me anyways) setting I have failed to make or unset.

Maybe there is a jumper on your harddrive that specifies the existence of a CD-ROM?
