Getting a Toshiba PCMCIA Card CD-Rom Drive to be seen?

I have found on the web that I can install from dos, by running the winnt.exe file in the i386 folder on the disc.
The problem I have is that I cannot get the CD drive to be seen when booting from a start up disc.

This web site tells me how to do it, but I do not know much about the files in a boot disc.

I think I have the right driver file and this is how I have configured the config.sys and autoexec.bat files -


DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS /testmem:eek:ff
FILES=30
BUFFERS=20

DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:banana

rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:banana /P:1f0,14
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:banana /P:170,15
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:banana /P:170,10
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:banana /P:1e8,12
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:banana /P:1e8,11
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:banana /P:168,10
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:banana /P:168,9

LASTDRIVE=Z
DEVICE=A:\ARCCD.SYS


---------------

@echo off

MSCDEX.EXE /D:banana /L:R
MSCDEX /D:ARCCD01 /L:E *gt; NUL



Please can anyone advise me if I'm going wrong somewhere, as it still won't see the CD-Rom drive?

Many thanks

Craig.
