Is the kernel detecting the CD-ROM drive at boot time?  Look at dmesg.
You should get something like:

  (aha0:6:0): "TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-3401TA 3353" type 5 removable SCSI 2
  cd0(aha0:6:0): CD-ROM cd present [305209 x 2048 byte records]

This is a SCSI drive, but the entries for an ATAPI drive should look
recognizable.  As others have said, you'll also get the message you
describe if the drive is empty.
