There's some CD-ROM booting code in BOCHS BIOS (as you have noticed), but
at the present status it is untested.

My guesstimate is that it should work but you will have to fix timing
problems. For example I would guess that it does not detect CD because it
is slower in responding than a typical hdd would be.

Hope it helps,
Adam
