Yes, it does matter. If you put the IDE controller in the middle of
the cable, the cable termination is wrong.

It should be possible. Just get an IDE cable that is long enough. I
have a cable in my Sun Blade 100 which is long enough so I can
connect it properly. It really doesn't make sense to continue trying
around with the cable connected improperly.
Also, you should be booting over a serial console. Much easier to
record all output messages when the output goes to a different
machine. You can also use netconsole to send the output over the
network.
