[NTLUG:Discuss] SuSE install on a Packard-Bell (yech)

[Brian]

Ever persistent in my quest to convert the masses, I've been trying to
help my brother install SuSE 6.2 on a Packard-Bell 486.  The problem: 
The CD-ROM isn't recognized by the install script.  Solutions tried: 
We've confirmed the CD-ROM is a Panasonic/SoundBlaster16-compat combo,
at port 0x220, type 6, but the autoprobe that's done when you try to
install the CD-ROM module fails.  Per the FM, we're using "sbpcd
0x230,6".  Anybody have any suggestions, short of a new computer (which
isn't an option right now)?
