Fix real cdrom access in Mac OS X so it can be used in QEMU.

It simply removes the r from a device file's name. This

allows for a real cdrom to be accessible to the guest.

It has been successfully tested with a Windows XP guest

in qemu-system-i386. The qemu-system-ppc emulator doesn't

quit anymore, but there is another problem that prevents a 

real cdrom from working.

Just wanted to note that qemu-system-ppc does work. I was able to read

a file from a real cd from the Mac OS 10.2 guest. It was OpenBIOS that has

the problem.
