Is the cdrom drive supposed to be available when qemu starts the guest OS or do I need to use a(n) switch/option to make the cdrom drive work in the guest OS? The quest is started and there is an icon for a cdrom but there does not seem to be any connection to either of my physical cdrom drives. I have looked at or searched with these and can't find any answers. If the answer is here I don't see or don't understand what it is. man qemu http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/user-doc.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QEMU Google -- Jack Gates http://www.morningstarcom.net
