Nonononononononon.... this is BIOS, not SCSI.

Drive 0 is the floppy drive.  Always.  Without exception.

Hard drives start at 128 and CD-ROMs are supposed to have drive numbers
above that (129-255 is the legal range.)  ISOLINUX relies on this to
make it harder to accidentally screw up your hard drive (EXTREMELY
unlikely, but...)

I can hack up a special isolinux.bin and send you underseparate cover...
if nothing else it should give us some more information.
