I reverted the DELAY in both places back to 20, and set wdcdebug_mask to
0x10, and specifically booted from cdrom. The hard drive attached.
For fun here's a table:
boot delay debug attach?
---- ----- ----- -------
net 20 no yes
net 2000 no yes
net 4000 no yes
net 20000 no yes
cdrom 20 no no
cdrom 2000 no no
cdrom 4000 no no
cdrom 20000 no no
net 20 yes yes
cdrom 20 yes yes
