Can't get CD-rom to work with WinUAE and OS3.9

[Trev]

Well, if you installed OS 3.9, it must have been working at some point (unless you didn't use the standard installation, which means you may or may not have a working CacheCDFS installation).

You can open Devs:/DOSDrivers/CD0 (or Devs:/DOSDrivers/EMERGENCYCD) in a text editor (e.g. excute "ed Devs:/DOSDrivers/CD0") and set these values:

Device = uaescsi.device
Unit = 0

UAEscsi.device support must be enabled in WinUAE under Settings | Host | Misc. If the CD is showing up in the log, then it's probably already enabled.

If CacheCDFS isn't working, or if you don't want to overexert your drive's laser mechanism, you can get AmiCDFS from Aminet. It works well with WinUAE and the installation instructions are pretty straightforward.
