I tried that with
qemu -hda c.img -cdrom /dev/cdrom0 -m 512 -soundhw 
all -localtime -usb -usbdevice tablet

-cdrom /dev/cdrom1
-cdrom /dev/cdrom
-cdrom /dev/hdc
-cdrom /media/cdrom
-cdrom /media/cdrom0
-cdrom /media/cdrom1
-cdrom /media/hdc

all I got each time was
qemu: could not open hard disk image '/dev/cdrom0'
