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>
