Problem solved (and I feel silly)...

linux hdb=cdrom

Works like a charm.

Linux doesn't seem to want to recognize the presense of my Toshiba XM-5402B, which is  
allegedly a standard ATAPI CDROM drive.  My AMI Bios from July 95 recognizes it as an ATAPI  
CDROM, but linux seems to just ignore it.  I am running redhat 2.1.   Is there something  
special about newer IDE CDROMs that needs to be done?

Any suggestions would be appreciated...
