you need to mount the cd (actually, the cd's filesystem to be exact) in order to access it...
you need to know the device location for your drive and you need a directory to use as a mount point...
example:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom
now you can access the cd by going into /mnt/cdrom...
in this example the cd-rom drive is the primary slave device...
the "-t iso9660" just says the filesystem you want to mount is the standard cd filesystem (iso9660)...
/mnt/cdrom is a typical, commonly used mount point for cd-roms...
/dev/hda = primary master
/dev/hdb = primary slave
/dev/hdc = secondary master
/dev/hdd = secondary slave
