you shouldn't have to do anything else.

to make your life easier you probably want to make sure that the drive is secondary master. Other wise you will need to make sure that the /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd symlinks are correct. I believe those symlinks default to /dev/hdc which is secondary master on pata bus.
