I just scanned through some CR-58x specs on a Panasonic web site, and they
claim that the 581 is a standard ATAPI device. If this is the case, then
you don't need 'device matcd', but rather, 'device atapicd'. (The matcd
driver is for the older 50x through 56x drives which used a proprietary
interface, commonly found on sound blaster cards.)
