Have you tried restarting the computer while holding in the eject button on your CD-ROM drive?
As to getting your 3rd party CD-ROM drive recognized, as others have pointed out, you either need the original FWB CD-ROM Toolkit extension OR a Res-Edit hacked version of Apple's CD/DVD extension to be active. The unhacked CD/DVD extension that comes with OS 9 probably won't work, Apple's CD extension from OS 7.x might or might not work, and certainly having two or more of these extensions active at the same time won't work because they will conflict with each other.
