A while back I wrote a HOWTO for getting BeOS to run under Q.
The problem is that the bootloader can't find the CD drive, apparently
because the BeOS bootloader uses the CD in some way that most other
operating systems don't, and so isn't emulated by Q.
The workaround is to install BeOS on a physical drive, then use Linux
dd and sfdisk to copy the BeOS partition to a regular file and give it
a one-partition partition map.
It's quite painful, but works great.

I wrote that a long time ago. Possibly Q has fixed the CD drive problem by now.
