[RULE] IDE port address....

[Harold Tuchel]

  Could someone be kind enough to tell me what the common port addresses are 
for 
the first IDE card, and the secondary IDE card    as in xxx,xxx .. I am  having 
trouble 
booting to an IDE controller that is not Bios controlled, cannot find anywhere 
on the 
web information about primary and secondary IDE addresses. If I can determine
what address the beast is at I can use one of the boot programs to try to boot 
from 
the CDROM.   (I haven't had a lot of success with RULE (sorry...probably my 
problem)..so I want to try a CDROM boot from a two set Redhat publishers 
version.

  Machine is older 486 ...bios choices are boot c:  or boot a:    Drive is 170 
meg

Someday...I too shall run Linux  (perhaps not on the 486 first...may have to 
find a 
used pentium)
  Thanx
