And then there should come sooner or later a message like
cardmgr: executing: './scsi start sr0'
or something like this ... but obvious this doesn't happen ...
perhaps (I have no personal experience with PCMCIA scsi cards :)
the wrong driver, here a quote from /usr/doc/pcmcia-cs/SUPPORTED.CARDS.gz:

        [ Be careful.  Many vendors. particularly CD-ROM vendors, seem
        to switch controller chips more or less at will.  Generally,
        they'll use a different product code, but not always: older
        (supported) New Media Bus Toaster cards are not easily
        distinguishable from the current Symbios-based cards, which
        use the contributed 53c500 driver, distributed separately. ]

Try this: Have a look at /etc/pcmcia/config and change 

card "New Media Bus Toaster SCSI"
  version "New Media", "SCSI", "Bus Toaster"
  bind "aha152x_cs"

in

card "New Media Bus Toaster SCSI"
  version "New Media", "SCSI", "Bus Toaster"
  bind "sym53c500_cs"

so that the other driver is loaded. Restart PCMCIA services
(/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart) and insert the card again...

(To mount the drive, a mount /cdrom should be suficient, after the card
is recogniced correctly ... acording to the source code).

PS: If that won't work, consider compiling a newer version of PCMCIA
service...
