"File Systems"
"ISO 9660 CDROM file system support" (YES)

needs to be in your kernel

might also want...

"Microsoft Joliet CDROM extensions" (YES)

In addition to that, need the driver for the specific type of CDROM
drive it is...

1) ATAPI IDE?

"ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support"  (YES)
"IDE,ATA AND ATAPI Block devices" (click on)
"Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support" (YES)
"Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support" (YES)

This should be enough, however there are other options that may need to
be enabled, depending on your hardware.

2) SCSI?

"SCSI support" (YES)
"SCSI CDROM support" (YES)

This might be enough, however there are other options that may need to
be enabled, depending on your hardware.

3) Old CDROM drivers (not SCSI, not IDE)

Good luck.
