When you install Slackware 3.0 set A it installs a basic (no IDECD) 
kernel or at best one with SCSI support.

You need to install a kernel from set Q, probably idecd1 or 
idecd2 (same kernel exc. for differing SCSI support), or you may try 
the aidecd (1.3...).

If you already have, I have no more ideas...

BTW, I saw you made Marc happy; good for you.

Good Luck,
