no luck with /hdb, /hdc, or /hdd.  Always /dev/hd? is not a valid block 
device.

lsmod doesn't list ide-cd and insmod ide-cd comes up with a bunch of 
unresolved symbols.

Moved it to /dev/hdd and the machine paused a long time at "looking for new 
hardware," then went on.  Tried /usr/sbin/kudzu - long pause, then back to 
the prompt.  I guess 1.2Gb is not enough for a decent RH7.2.

I'll try adding another small hard drive and do another install.
Thanks, guys,
