Your commandline is missing the -cdrom parameter:

-cdrom 'file'
Use file as CD-ROM image (you cannot use '-hdc' and and '-cdrom' at the 
same time). You can use the host CD-ROM by using '/dev/cdrom' as filename.

-boot [a|c|d]
Boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c) or CD-ROM (d). Hard disk boot is the 
default.

Reading http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/qemu-doc.html#SEC10 might 
help you in discovering some more features of qemu.
