For anyone interested in this besides Gordon and I, it appears the 
problem is the form of the insmod command. After pestering Gordon offlist 
to do this and try that, and removing a good part of what little hair I 
have left...
It appears the correct command is:

insmod /mnt/floppy/modules/kernel/drivers/cdrom/sbpcd.o sbpcd=0x230,1

I'm waiting for Gordon to test this for me, but I can do it here, and see 
it probe the proper io address for a cdrom drive I don't have.
