Trying to get Linux to recognize Creative Labs CD-Rom.

I recently installed an InfoMagic release on a 486 I want to use as a web
server.  It's a November 1995 release that has the Slackware distribution
set using kernel 1.2.13.  
Going through the install phase when I created the boot and root floppy's,
every thing was read off the CD-Rom just fine. In this case a Creative
Labs Quad Speed, model CR-574-B.
I'm now going back to install the Linux source's because I need to
recompile the kernel to have the system recognize my 3Com card (and also
my CD-Rom).

The problem I'm running into now is that upon bootup Linux does'nt
recognize the CD-Rom which I need in order to go back and install the
Linux kernel sources.  When I run "setup" and try to instll something I
get:

"Sorry- the CD-Rom could not be found.  Please check to make sure that it
is mounted beneath /cdrom and try again.
(Directory given: /cdrom/slackware)."

What can I do?
