You have gotten some very broad advice so far, so I thought I would try to
simplify things for you.

When you configured the modules (from the driver section), if you didn't
already have the driver installed, you installed a driver for your CD-ROM.
When this was done /dev/cdrom was linked to that driver. (Note that
this was offered in the prompt above) You should be able to press enter
and everything should work ok. If this doesn't work, you will need to
determine which driver fits your drive (as others have indicated) and use
that device instead.

Luck,

Dwarf
