I am installing a temperary verson of linux on an old 486 box. To Get linux from the winblows machine to the 486, I need to install a CDrom. I hooked it to the same ribbon as the hd since there was room, but it won't boot with the cdrom on the controler. How do I tell the hd to be master and cdrom to be slave?
