When trying to crack cd-checks, it is often more useful to go for the cd-check itself, than the error msg's. Thus, instead of trying to figger out how to make soft-ice break when the game is displaying it's string "gimme cd", try and find the place where it figures out that there is no cd. This is often done with getdrivetypea calls and others like it.
Check Tsehp's mirror for student essays, there's a cd-project in there somewhere, with some nice essays. Also check R!sc's page for some ok cd-check essays.
