You can find an outdated version on http://www.zastrow4u.de/ which can 
boot from a CD. Study how it works.

My actually version has *even* the ide-drivers included as kernel 
modules, which are loaded _after_ vdr is up and running. Setting up such 
a system is nothing for novice linuxer's. Therefore I can not spend any 
support, because the whole system is very hardware specific and mistakes 
often results in poorly booted systems without access to the drive...
