i'm sure i'm screwing up something simple but i'm trying to use the
basic qemu PC system emulator and the linux image
"linux-0.2.img[.bz2]" here:
http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/download.html
to access my native CD-ROM.
it's a piece of cake to invoke the emulator thusly:
$ qemu linux-0.2.img
and i can even see a reference to the "QEMU CD-ROM" go blazing by
during the boot process. but after that ... nothing.
the online qemu docs here:
http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/qemu-doc.html#SEC20
*seem* to suggest that i should simply have access automatically via
the device file /dev/cdrom, but the qemu session has no such file.
and the situation on the host system:
$ ls -l /dev/{cdrom,scd0,sr0}
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2008-01-18 08:56 /dev/cdrom -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2008-01-18 08:56 /dev/scd0 -> sr0
brw-rw-rw-+ 1 root disk 11, 0 2008-01-18 08:56 /dev/sr0
$
so i certainly seem to have sufficient device files on the host, and
the actual device file has world R/W access. thoughts?

p.s. um ... what's with that "+" at the end of the access rights for
/dev/sr0? that's a new one for me. i guess i just never noticed it
before.
