Per version 0.8.0, the ATAPI CD-ROM is always attached to IDE  
secondary/master (address 2). (See assignment to cdrom_index around  
vl.c line 4433.)

Bochs allows the CD-ROM to be attached to any of four addresses, my  
suggestion is perhaps adding a QEMU runtime option for this.

E.g. NEXTSTEP 3.3 installation has a quirk in that it expects an  
ATAPI CD-ROM to be primary/slave (address 1). Changing the ATAPI  
address helps with NS 3.3 installation (although mine goes on to fail  
for other reasons, after successfully detecting ATAPI drive patched  
to attach at address 1). I hope to soon be able to add NS 3.3 to the  
QEMU supported guest O/S list.
