I tried a SCSI CDROM drive from a Sun UltraSPARC 2 in my NeXTstation and itdidn't seem to work. Does it require something special?
Was this to boot or just to read discs? Booting requires something
that can support 512-byte blocks (and, depending on your hardware, may
need a special boot floppy).
The hard drive has failed and I am trying to reinstall Nextstep 3.3. I
think that the way to do this is to boot from the CD. The CDROM drive
that I tried does support 512 byte sectors (I use it on a VAXStation
where that is a requirement).

Maybe you need the boot diskette (I think non-Turbo NeXTstation require
this).
If your CD-ROM drive still doesn't work, you could try a properly
terminated Apple drive : they work fine.

I have never get a NeXT booting directly from CD-ROM, even with the
newest ROMs (v74) and a jumpable CD-ROM (512/2024 bytes per sector).
Maybe they had to have in addition a specified ID, some people reported
some magic when using ID3.
I suggest to boot a CD-ROM driver from floppy.
