Given that your CD is an ATAPI CD Rom, plugged into your IDE
drive controller, my suggestions would be to try:
/dev/hdb - Primary Slave drive
/dev/hdc - Secondary Master IDE drive
/dev/hdd - Secondary Slave drive
If you are trying to install the slackware CD set and your CD
drive is plugged into your Soundblaster card, try creating a boot disk
with the "sbpcd.i" image. If all of the above don't work, The only other
proprietary CD which I can think of off the top of my head which is
commonly mistaken for as being an ATAPI is the "mitsumi" drives, thus,
try the "mitsumi.i" boot disk and see if that gets you any luck.
My $0.02,
