Well, a CDROM image has a different file system from a hd image, so I 
am not surprised that -hdb and -cdrom are not interchangeable. And I am 
not sure that, right now, qemu is able to read physical devices instead 
of images. Actually maybe you should try to use Disk Utility to first 
unmount the device (while leaving it in the drive) and then try to 
access it. I don't think you can do it while OS X has it mounted.
