It's a scsi cd connected to a 1542cf. I installed 2.1.6 from scratch
with it. So I'm fairly sure it gets recognized. Below is the last
dmesg, from March 22nd. The Install cd was still in the drive after
the third upgrade:

: aha0 at 0x330-0x333 irq 11 drq 5 on isa
: aha0 waiting for scsi devices to settle
: (aha0:3:0): "PLEXTOR CD-ROM PX-6XCS 2.05" type 5 removable SCSI 2
: cd0(aha0:3:0): CD-ROM cd present.[262254 x 2048 byte records]

I may try the upgrade again this weekend, with a closer attention
to note taking. I backed up everything to tape anyway.
