You will need the IDEfix software (aminet?) to get the CD-rom up and running properly.

That is incorrect. If you are using a CD-ROM connected directly to the Amiga's motherboard (i.e. not using a buffered interface) then you do not need IDEfix. Just use scsi.device (in ROM) and the drive will be detected.

No it doesn't. On an A1200 scsi.device is in the kickstart ROM.

It does on the A1200. I used an IDE CD-ROM on the internal IDE channel with no 4 way adapter using scsi.device in the mountlist.
