The choices are IDE  0:0, 0:1, 1:0; 1:1
My CD drives are on the IDE secondary port, so that means 
1:0 and 1:1.  Occasionally, I do get a nastygram saying "if
you allocate the drive to the "guest OS", you wont be
able to access it from Linux"  (OK, once I get to boot from
the CD, I'll worry about that later.)  But I still cant see the
CD from the "guest OS" (Win98SE, well, DOS at this point)
and when I do pop in a CD, Linux sees it just fine and brings
up a window showing me what is on the drive (so much for 
being inaccessable).  This tells me something aint quite right.

And I still havent seen the place to select "boot from CD"
