Help! Newbie Recording 2 (The Sequel)

I just got a Boss BR-864 and I am having problems with getting started. I want to incorporate drums sounds into the track first, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. One would think that this would be easy, but of course not.

Anyway, I have tried playing along with a preset drum pattern while recording and the only thing that records is what I am playing.

newbie with the 1010LT

I just bought a 1010LT sound card that I plan on using with cool edit pro. I noticed that there are 6 rca inputs and 2 XLRs. from my mic preamps outs (which are 1/4 inch plugs), wouldn't I need a rca adapter from a 1/4 plug to plug it into the sound card's intputs? I think so, but when i do that, that reduces the six inputs down to three...no?
