My note from recently installing Gentoo on a newly built machine : "for DVD drive, use BLK_DEV_SR to create /dev/sr0 ". Use 'make menuconfig' + search to find that string, then set the option.
BTW I try to do things as simply as possible : using Fluxbox + Openrc, I mount /dev/sr0 on /mnt/dvd (as root), then (as user) 'cd /mnt/dvd' & use Most/Mupdf/Feh/etc to look at the files. Quick, effective, foolproof ...
