I have a TEAC cdrom, I _think_ the CD-46E, and I had a similar problem
with the RH 4.0 bootdisk Install/Udpgrade script not seeing the CDROM drive
correctly (even though it listed hdc as being a EIDE/ATAPI CRROM during
bootup. What I did to fix this (believe it or not) was to just reboot
and then right before I selected the Install/Upgrade script option that
searched for my CDROM drive, I pushed the open-tray button and opened and
then re-closed the tray. The LED them came on and the disk started
spinning and THEN it could be detected!
Hope it works for you!
