I tried both master and single.  Slave for a single device doesn't
look right.

Attaching the CD-ROM to ``the other'' controller (not the one it was
plugged in to when it came) then led to kernel not detecting any IDE
controllers.

Because that's how the system came and CD-ROM is only needed for
things like installation of packages and disaster recovery.
