IDE doesn't really support devices that are only on the slave, with
no master. At least, not reliably. You have to make both of them
the master.


    It is either the cable or a jumper on the drive.   Try fixing that and
    see if it boots with DMA turned on.

It does boot with DMA turned on, unless I am missing something? The WDMA2 drive is the old CD drive, the UDMA33 drive is the hard disk. :-)
