You can actually test in a VM both as a virtual CD/DVD:
-cdrom file
Use file as CD-ROM image (you cannot use -hdc and -cdrom at the same
time). You can use the host CD-ROM by using /dev/cdrom as filename.
and as a virtual USB:
-usbdevice devname
Add the USB device devname.
disk:[format=format]:file
Mass storage device based on file. The optional format argument will be
used rather than detecting the format. Can be used to specifiy
"format=raw" to avoid interpreting an untrusted format header.
(The quotes are from the qemu manpage.)
It is not a replacement for testing on real hardware, but it could catch at
least some of the differences.
