Attached is a patch that does just that.
The default -cdrom still works, but you can also use -cdrom-a, -cdrom-b,
-cdrom-c, and -cdrom-d to specify if the cdrom should be plugged in place over
hda, hdb, hdc, or hdd respectively.
Also includes a few tests to make sure you don't clobber a hard disk with a
cdrom, or use the same -hdX or -cdrom-X option multiple times.
