InfoMagic slackware CDROM installation

[Eric Zundel Ayers]

I think the way they solved the cdu33a auto-detection in more recent
kernels was to require that the parameters be specified on the command
line.  BTW, didn't Mark Horton report that at least one of the slackware
kernels was configured wrong?  I thought it was the SCSI + cdrom kernel...
