Installation issues with DBSD 2.10.1, Doesnt mount root from IDE CDROM

Can you please provide a verbose boot with the failing IDE drive
somehow? Now that you have it installed, you could just boot from the
CD with boot -v, then specify, at the mountroot> prompt, your local
hard drive so that you can continue booting and saving the dmesg.

Thanks,
Alex
