Do you know anything about the case in which the drive is mounted ?
Although you can try all the known protocols, it would be simpler if
you knew what sort of parallel port IDE adapter was in use. You could
send me a listing of the file names on the DOS installer floppy, and
I might be able to identify the device from that.

Please read the file Documentation/paride.txt in the kernel source tree.
Alternatively, you can read http://www.torque.net/parport/paride.html

You must load 'paride' and one of the protocol modules before you attempt
to load pd.
