Well, not having a master doesn't caust any problems, but the fact that
the old drive was the mater (hdc) and the new drive is slave (hdd)
probably does. Your original install probably detected the drive as a
DVD and added a line in your lilo.conf (or grub if that's what your
using) to tell the kernel to use the scsi emulation for that drive. The
line in the conf should look something like:
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
If you were to change that line to hdd and reboot, I'd guess your new
drive would come up as /dev/scd0 ;)
