You need a line in your autoexec.bat file:

c:\dos\mscdex.ex /d:cdrom_sys (where cdrom_sys is just an identifier, it can be anything).

Then you need a line in config.sys:

device=c:\whereveritis\cdromdriver.sys /d:cdrom_sys

where whereveritis is the folder where the cdrom driver is, cdromdriver.sys is the name of the driver, and cdrom_sys just has to be the same as what's in autoexec.bat.

You need to load a dos driver into config.sys like:
device=c:\cdromdriver.sys /d:cd1

You also need a line in your autoexec.bat file:

c:\dos\mscdex.exe /d:cd1

or you can manually run it at a dos prompt.

If you make a bootable win9X diskette, it will include for you, a default set of drivers that works with 90% of the cd rom devices.
