   I had success by doing:   
      
   	qemu -fda floppy.img -hda image.be -boot a   
      
   where floppy.img is your 1boot.img and image.be is your 2main.img.

   Well I've been having the same problem with the BeOS CDs for years.   
   I've tried dozens of CD (media), at least 5 CD recorders and 4 different   
   boxes to try to burn it to no avail.   
      
   The .cue file is supposed to contain the information for Nero to burn   
   the CD.  I don't use Nero (I don't even use Windows) and people on IRC   
   told me I simply need to burn a two sessions CD: 1boot.img is the first   
   session and 2main.img the second one.

   It works reasonably well for me on Qemu running on Debian GNU/Linux and   
   FreeBSD.
