Almost all modern CD-ROM drives are either IDE or SCSI, so you probably
don't need special drivers.  You will need to specify a device later:

  IDE channel 1 slave  = /dev/hdb
  IDE channel 2 master = /dev/hdc
  IDE channel 2 slave  = /dev/hdd
  SCSI CD-ROM (1st)    = /dec/scd0

These should be loaded in addition to any hardware drivers.
