Archlinux fails to find installation cd-rom under Qemu

Hi,

I'm having the problem that when I run the Archlinux 2009.08 installation procedure under Qemu virtualization, it fails to detect the cd-rom drive:

Waiting 30 seconds for boot device /dev/archiso ...
ERROR: boot device didn't show up after 30 seconds

Did you already try the suggestions in the qemu wiki article?

Re: Archlinux fails to find installation cd-rom under Qemu

Did you already try the suggestions in the qemu wiki article?

Are you hinting at any suggestion in particular?

Do note that I want to run Archlinux under Qemu.
The article is mainly about running Qemu under Archlinux.

I can run other distribution like Ubuntu and Suse fine under Qemu on the same system.
It's only Archlinux that I'm having this problem with.
