autofs-config is not autoconfig. You'll find auto.master in the documents for the autofs package. Since it must be configured the conf files are not installed by default -auto.master gets run even if set to non-executable.
Here's what I found that works:

Example auto.master:
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:03 hpa Exp $
# Sample auto.master file
# Format of this file:
# mountpoint map options
# For details of the format look at autofs(8).
/media /etc/auto.misc
# /mnt /etc/auto.cdrom
Example /etc/auto.misc:
# $Id: auto.misc,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:04 hpa Exp $
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage
#kernel -ro ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux
#boot -fstype=ext2 :/dev/hda1
#removable -fstype=ext2 :/dev/hdd
cdrom -fstype=iso9660,ro :/dev/sr0
#floppy -fstype=auto :/dev/fd0
As I said, auto.master and auto.misc don't have to be executable and are placed in /etc.
rc.autofs goes in /etc/rc.d. You'll need to make it executable and add an entry for it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local something like this:
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.autofs ] ; then
. /etc/rc.d/rc.autofs start
fi
This will mount your cdrom (/dev/sr0) under /media/cdrom
The rc.autofs is a patched version I found -you'll need yptools (from the 'n' series) installed for it to work. I've found a simpler one that doesn't need yptools to work and has no references to debian or redhat, but I've not had a chance to test it yet, so I won't provide it just yet. Pretty soon I'll add the autofs4 package to my site with some working examples.
