Set the jumpers on the hd and cdrom.The hd should be set to master, and the
cdrom set to slave. You might need sighted help finding the right jumpers.

Hi.
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?
