What type of interface is it? I'm assuming it's the same as my NEC (that is,
an IDE, can't remember the model number) in which case all you need to do
is boot a kernel with IDE CDROM support, and access /dev/hd[abcd].
I've set up a link (ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom)
As standard IDE interface naming goes, your CD will be one of:
Primary controller, master: /dev/hda
Primary controller, slave : /dev/hdb
Secondary controller, master: /dev/hdc
Secondary controller, slave : /dev/hdd
