This is most likely the same problem I had, if by "second port" you mean 
the secondary IDE channel. From the driver's point of view, there is an 
atapibus for every IDE channel, regardless of whether there's an atapi 
device on it or not. If you're not getting two atapi buses it's probably 
because you don't have your secondary IDE channel configured. That 
channel comes up as wdc1, and it's commented out of the GENERIC kernel 
config and the installation kernels too, I think. Uncomment it, and make 
sure you specify a valid IRQ, because the driver does not like not 
knowing that in advance. :)

Then just make sure that your atapibus and acd lines are still the 
wildcard ones, ie. they have *'s and ?'s indicating the driver should 
probe. Build, rename your old kernel just in case, copy the new one over, 
and reboot. You can even cross your fingers if you like. :)

mknod is the appropriate util. Read the man page and then don't be afraid 
to experiment a little. As long as you're not overwriting any other 
inodes, you won't break anything. At least, I don't think you will. :)
