I know nothing about harddrives.

Do you have a DiskOnChip on an evaluation board? The way I prevent it from
interfering with normal booting is to remove the jumper which controls the
memory window during booting, and replace it after the grub or lilo prompt
has appeared. If you _never_ want to boot from it, you can just destroy the
firmware on it. M-Systems provide an 'fff.exb' or similarly named firmware
file for this purpose.
If you get Linux to boot, with the DOC2000 and NFTL config options
turned on (or if you load the modules), then you ought to be able to access
the device as /dev/nftla (block 93,0) and /dev/nftla1 (block 93,1).
