My fix for this (and probably not the best fix by any means) was to
move the CDROM to be the slave on the primary controller. I *think*
(I'm kinda guessing, but it worked for me) that it scans for drives
sequentially (pri-master, pri-slave, sec-master, sec-slave) and stops
looking once it finds an empty slot, or something like that. Anybody
else have input?
