You can get a universal CD-ROM driver from nospin.com (grabbed the link off
of their files section):
ftp://adsl12.bois.uswest.net/pub/nospin_files/cddriver.zip

Here are the lines I usually use:
config.sys:
device=a:\d011v200.sys /d:<devicename>

autoexec.bat:
a:\mscdex.exe /d:<devicename>

replacing a:\ with the location of where the respective files are, and
replacing <devicename> with the name of the driver you want to use, it
doesn't really make a difference what the name is, as long as they are the
same in both config.sys and autoexec.bat.
