Another way to handle this is to netboot. After you build the kernel (with nfs 
etc. enabled) do something like:

mkelf-linux --output=/diskless/netboot.img 
linux-2.6.7-xbox/arch/i386/boot/bzImage --append="netconsole=@/,@192.168.1.5/ 
root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.5:/x 
ip=192.168.1.67:192.168.1.5:192.168.1.1:255.255.255.0:x:eth0:off pci=biosirq 
kbd-reset video=xbox:640x480,nohwcursor,hoc=20,voc=20 devfs=mount acpi=hw"

In cromwell select network boot and you're set; no more messing about with 
cdrws.
