I am trying to boot an iso image (taking the tomsrtbt for example) from an SCSI cdrom drive.
Qemu is current HEAD.
There is my  command line :
 qemu -drive file=/mnt/hdb/isos/tomsrtbt-2.0.103.iso,if=scsi,media=cdrom

Qemu says :
CDROM boot failure code : 0003
Boot from CD-Rom failed
FATAL : Could not read the boot disk

Is this unsupported at the moment or am I using the wrong command line ?
Thanks for any help.


Kind regards,
Sylvain Petreolle (aka Usurp)

>From rombios.c:
- CD-ROM booting is only available if ATA/ATAPI Driver is available

Since the bios lacks support for scsi, cdrom boot only works with 
if=ide.
