nope. there are no CHS parameters for a CDROM so it needs to be autodetected on every boot.
If you email me include [WIMSBIOS] in the subject.

What is your IDE drive setup ? HDD on Primary IDE and CDROM on Secondary IDE?

Enter Bios and use the Autodetection funktion. This should enter all HDD found to the Standard CMOS setup. It may even enter ATAPI or CDROM to the port your CDROM is connected to (usually Secondary Master).
