They also usually have nonstandard controllers, IIRC, and would not be
on the IDE bus.

should that be something like `modprobe ide-cdrom' instead?  I guess you
should just look for the correct module by running

find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ -name "*cdrom*"

I'm guessing the first option, with cdrom support as a module..

this can be determined by looking at the boot logs, BTW.  Try running
`dmesg', or looking in the /var/log/dmesg or /var/log/messages files.
