[CoLoCo] Trouble with Hardy in Qemu

[Ringo Kamens]

The text installer stops on the check for CD-rom and removeable media
section and tells me it can'd find the cd-rom drive. It asks if I want
to input a seperate location for it like /dev/mycd or something, but I
don't see anything in my /dev listing that would work. It's booting
from the CD so I know it can access the drive, but I'm not sure why it
can't detect it.
