I copied the following lines from another virtual machine:

    ide1:0.fileName = "auto detect"
    ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-raw"

After I ran the virtual machine, mounted a CD-ROM, listed its contents,
unmounted it, and shutdown the virtual machine, there was an additional
line:

    ide1:0.autodetect = "TRUE"


My current "Other Linux 2.4.x kernel.vmx" file follows FYI.
