I'm installing Novell 4.11 on a Dell 1400CS 866Mhz 512MB 30MB mirrowed drives. During installation I can not get it to install the proper drivers for the CD-ROM. I've downloaded all drivers provided by dell, Novell, and third party vendors, but it alwyas fails at the same point. "Can not load or find IDECD.CDM". Is there a work around?

Appreciate your input.

IDECD.CDM is a Custom Device Module, a "sub" driver which should be loaded after adriver for the controller. I presume your CD is IDE? You need to load IDEATA.HAM first. That is the driver for the adapter, on top of that you load the CDM drivers for the individual devices, like IDECD.CDM.
It's the same for SCSI: first some HAM driver (like AIC7880.HAM for some Adaptec controller), and on top of that SCSIHD.CDM, or SCSICD.CDM or so.
