This command line is totally broken. You're running
(by default) an emulation of the 'integratorcp' board (which is
pretty much obsolete and a bad choice), and you're trying to
pass it a CDROM image, when the board doesn't have a CDROM
drive. You need to specify the right board to emulate (with
'-M something' and also pass a kernel and an initrd to load
(with -kernel and -initrd).
