It's strange that the BIOS will not detect the microdrive when 
you're in BIOS, yet if the HDD settings are set to "auto" in 
the BIOS, the BIOS does auto detect the microdrive. Try setting 
the PCM-5822 BIOS to "auto" for both the primary and secondary 
IDE masters, then boot with the microdrive. You should see it 
show up in the BIOS messages as an autodetected secondary master.
Either way, I have verified that microdrive does work with the 
PCM-5822 and that network install of redhat works fine ...
