Subsequent install? Not sure what you mean here.

The kernel distributed on the 7.2 cd (2.4.7-10)?

You mean you can boot the new install from the lilo floppy, but then you 
can't load the sbpcd module? Have you run depmod -ae? There was a bug in 
the initial release related to cdroms not being found after an install.
/dev/sbpcd0 should exist, right? /dev/sbpcd should exist and be a link to 
/dev/sbpcd0. If that's all true, 
insmod /psth/to/sbpcd.o sbpcd=0x230,1
_should_ work.

You could also update the kernel and see if that helps, as long as you 
are actually able to boot the system.
