Hi all!

Is there someone who has experience with box under YDL? I configured
bochs, but it won't boot from a bootable CD. I have a powerbook G3 400
MHz with YellowDogLinux 2.3 installed. bochs will start and it tries
to access the cdrom. After the cdrom spins up, bochs shows an error
message like...

CD on ata0-1: '/dev/cdrom'
Using direct access for cdrom.
Could not locate CD-ROM, continuing with media not present

This is my configuration (bochsrc):

What's wrong there?
