My Adaptec SCSI controller expects the Primary master IDE device to
be the "boot" drive. Without a Primary IDE device connected, the SCSI
drive becomes the "boot."
As your cdrom is hda, it is the master on the Primary IDE
controller. Your machine may be trying to "boot" from the cdrom. Move
the cdrom to the Secondary IDE controller, and see if that helps.
