In order to boot to the IDE controller card, you will have to specify it in BIOS setup.
Boot drive on the card, IDE 1.
Other two drives on the card, IDE 2, master and slave.
Optical devices on the motherboard IDE, any position will do, although if you have a CD or DVD and a burner, putting them on separate channels will allow faster "on-the-fly" copying.
