Erm, actually that's not quite correct, maybe the docs should be
changed:
- Acorn A5000 and RiscPC machines can have a CD ROM, but don't support
booting from it (which is not important because they come with RISC
OS in ROM).
- As has just been noted on debian-arm, the CATS board can now boot
from CD ROM. Quoting message

I don't know about the various other ARM machines and evaluation
boards.
