LiveCD qemu autoplay?

[Andrew Jorgensen]

What would it take to launch the LiveCD in qemu on Windows?

In linux you could just point qemu at the cdrom device with "qemu
-cdrom /dev/cdrom" but that's not possible in Windows (yet?).  It
seems, though, that it should be possible to boot up the casper image
using qemu and run it that way.  Has anyone tried this?  Should it be
possible?  Perhaps if an extra bootstrap image were also provided on
the CD?

It seems to me this could really make the LiveCD easier to try,
particularly if the user feels unwilling to trust his machine to the
CD at first.  Or if he simply hates rebooting, like I do.
