Log:
  no-install-cdrom: remove FAQ about IDE drives
  
  I have not seen an IDE drive in many years on a new system.
  If we want to keep this information it should be be documented
  in a better place than a long list of questions that
  users tend not to read.

-	<answer>
-	  <para>The usual cause of this problem is a mis-configured
-	    CD-ROM drive.  Many PCs now ship with the CD-ROM as the
-	    slave device on the secondary IDE controller, with no
-	    master device on that controller.  This is illegal
-	    according to the ATAPI specification, but &windows; plays
-	    fast and loose with the specification, and the BIOS
-	    ignores it when booting.  This is why the BIOS was able to
-	    see the CD-ROM to boot from it, but why &os; cannot see it
-	    to complete the install.</para>

-	  <para>Reconfigure the system so that the CD-ROM is either
-	    the master device on the IDE controller it is attached to,
-	    or make sure that it is the slave on an IDE controller
-	    that also has a master device.</para>
