There aren't really paramters necessary except on some really old
cd-drives.
the way it works is this:
the kernel has support for your scsi or ide b
what kind of paramters? and what kind of cdrom ? if its a standard IDE
drive hooked to an IDE controller you shouldn't need any parameters it
ought to detect it automagically. if its a non standard one using one of
those old soundcard interfaces, you may need the I/O address(s) of it and
the IRQ
If you are using an IDE cdtom the drivers are built in to the installation
disk. If
not they are in the drivers disk. You can make both from the debian site or
make an
image from your cdrom under DOS.

Not much, but hopefuly it will help.
