Well, the -boot flag only tells it which device to boot from if you've
specified multiple devices.  You still need to tell qemu where the cdrom
and floppy are.

Change your command to:

qemu -boot a -fda /dev/fd0
or
qemu -boot d -cdrom /dev/cdrom

Since you're only using one device, you can shorten it by removing the
boot flag, like so:

qemu -cdrom /dev/cdrom

HTH,
