I couldn't get mine working no matter where I put the CD-ROM drive until I
reconfigured the kernel using options ATAPI_STATIC (as well as options ATAPI).
Now it works just fine configured as:

Primary   master  540M HD
Primary   slave   1.2G HD
Secondary master  ATAPI CD-ROM
Secondary slave   nothing

wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <WDC AC2540H>
wd0: 515MB (1056384 sectors), 1048 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): <WDC AC21200H>
wd1: 1222MB (2503872 sectors), 2484 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa
wdc1: unit 1 (atapi): <FX001DE/0S 1>, removable, intr
wcd0: 299Kb/sec, 128Kb cache, audio play, 255 volume levels, ejectable tray
wcd0: no disc inside, unlocked
