[0]Also I need to know how I can get the system to recognize the cdrom
[0]which I have installed. I have tried everything except for successfully
[0]compiling the kernel. My cdrom is a soundblaster situated on a secondary
[0]IDE interface card. There is no setting on the card itself for making it
[0]a master rather than slave drive. The port at which it is located is
[0]0x250. In order to give it this port address I gave the parameter at boot
[0]
[0]boot: -c
[0]
[0]and then I typed visual and inserted the port address into the matcd0
[0]device. The cdrom is a 2x speed cdrom.

[0]SoundBlaster 2x CD on IDE interface card

The matcd driver is NOT for IDE drives.  You need to be changing settings
on the ATAPI CD-ROM driver, wcd.   The HARDWARE.TXT and RELEASE.TXT
(plus the matcd.4 man page) discuss this.

If the drive is connected to a connector that says "Creative/Panasonic",
then you would use the matcd driver.
