[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] block/raw-posix.c: Fixes raw_getlength() on Mac OS X so that it reports the correct length of a real CD

[Programmingkid]

The raw_getlength() function under Mac OS X incorrectly returned a constant 
value instead of calculating the size of a real CD-ROM disc. This patch fixes 
this problem and makes booting from a real CD-ROM disc possible again under Mac 
OS X.
