When the SCSI BIOS shows up on your boot screen, does it see the CD-ROM drive? If not, the most likely cause for it not beeing seen is that it is not working. Usually, you do not need a driver for SCSI devices - I have never needed one in my 11 years of Linux. Things to check: Does the CD-ROM drive have a unique SCSI-ID? This is settable with a few (3) jumpers and is binary encoded. No jumper -> SCSI-ID 0, 3 jumpers -> SCSI ID 7 - which is usually used by the Adaptor, so chose 0 - 6 only. Do you have the SCSI termination right? The last device on the kable needs to be terminated or you have to add a terminator (not Arnold) to the last connector of the SCSI cable. You should also set the adaptor to be self terminating and make it the first/last device on the cable. Never have the adaptor sitting somewhere in the middle.
