Maybe I'm crazy, but the combination IDE HD/CDROM chained of the motherboard seem a hell of alot faster than the integrated SCSI on the Cyberstorm.


Well, you're either crazy :-D, or something is wrong with your setup.  The motherboard IDE is non-DMA and PIO-0 slow (<3MB/s).  It's fine for a CD-ROM, ZIP, etc. but for a HD you really should use the CS.

I've never seen it work without an atapi.device either.  

Edit: but...  I just tried (with the correct emergency disk this time) and it worked.  I'm using OS3.9 CacheCDFS with SCSI.DEVICE unit 0 for my DVD/CD-RW combo.  Hmm, odd.  I've never had this system at 3.1 so I can't comment about the 3.1 driver.
