Your kernel should automatically be able to detect the CD drive when you
boot up. Type 'dmesg' to see if your kernel is detecting the CDROM drive.
You say that your CD drive is master on secondary. Under Linux that is
equivalent to /dev/hdc.
This is what you should do:
# ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
# mkdir /cdrom
Edit /etc/fstab and add an entry like the following line to it (if it is
not already there):
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,noauto
When you want to mount the CD type (as root):
# mount /cdrom
and you have your CD drive available.
