The doc's on atapi.flp date back to 2.1.0. It's not required for neither 2.1.5 nor 2.1.6.

What do you mean the device is not there? It will not show up in the configuration editor. Make sure your ATAPI CD is connected to either the slave position on the primary controller or the master position on the secondary controller, boot, and check to see if the kernel shows a message showing that your drive is detected. You'll want to have the CD in the drive when you turn the power on.
