I reverted the DELAY in both places back to 20, and set wdcdebug_mask to
0x10, and specifically booted from cdrom.  The hard drive attached.

For fun here's a table:

boot	delay	debug	attach?
----	-----	-----	-------
net	20	no	yes
net	2000	no	yes
net	4000	no	yes
net	20000	no	yes
cdrom	20	no	no
cdrom	2000	no	no
cdrom	4000	no	no
cdrom	20000	no	no
net	20	yes	yes
cdrom	20	yes	yes

Cheers,
