ATAPI-SATA is not yet fully supported in the kernel so SATA-CDROMS won't work (maybe they do if you have a BIOS that can emulate it). There are patches around (see http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0508.3/1620.html and read the warning there, too) that add that support but they are not in the FC4 kernel afaics (for good reason as it seems). A up2date version of that patch was merged some time ago into 2.6.14-rc. So the support might show up in FC4 and probably will be in FC5.
