I'm using bochs-2000_0325a and it emulates a floppy and a hard drive.
You can feed it a regular file or a disk partition for the hard drive.
(I suppose you could feed it an entire disk...)  I haven't tried to get
the CD-ROM stuff going.

In addition to running x86 binaries until open source takes over, bochs
might be useful as a chroot jail on steroids.
