[ltp] ultra bay troubles on a T21

[Frank Schaeckermann]

You probably need something like "hde=ide-scsi" as boot parameter for 
your kernel! That will simulate a SCSI drive for the DVD and make it 
accessible. Worked fine for me... only problem is if you swap the DVD 
for a hard drive it won't recognize the hard drive anymore... but then 
again hot-swapping isn't working yet anyway and thus the problem is 
easily fixed by two different entries in the lilo.conf - one with and 
one w/o the "hde=ide-scsi" parameter.
