Strange, I have what looks like almost exactly the same cdrom and it
works fine for me:

cd0 at atapibus0 drive 0: <SONY    CD-RW  CRX175A1, , 5YS2> cdrom removable

I'll send you my .log file from a sample run, maybe you can find
something if you compare it to yours.

Load the linuxrtc LKM. But you shouldn't really need this. Win98 works
fine for me without it.

You should use the one called "host-only" instead. Then turn on
forwarding and NAT (and possibly samba) on the "outside" and you will
be fully connected...

Kind regards,
