If your CDROM has an IDE interface, don't connect it to the SoundBlaster
but rather to one of the main EIDE controllers, either as the slave on
the primary controller, or as the master on the secondary controller. If
that is the case, also make sure you have the lines

option	ATAPI
device	wcd0

in your kernel config file, and that the device wcd0c exists in /dev.
