OK then edit the syslinux.cfg file on the floppy. Since you did not state
how you boot RHL9 I assumed that you where using the default boot loader
Grub, my mistake.

Yes I saw that, but I thought I give you a 'heads up' so you could use the
combo drive as a burner also.

>From the Red Hat Linux 8.0 RELEASE-NOTES;
o DMA is disabled on CD-ROM drives in this release in a different but
more reliable way than previously. If you are sure that your CD-ROM
drive is capable of IDE DMA, place the following line in the
/etc/modules.conf file:
options ide-cd dma=1
This also applies to the IDE CD-RW/DVD or DVD or DVD-R/RW+R/RW drives
also. Enabling DMA for these drives makes then faster for playback like
watching a movie or file transfers.

It's time you did some reading and learning;
The Red Hat Linux Manuals;
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/
Mplayer Documentation;
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design6/info.html#docs
FYI: I gave you the help you requested and more.
